11th March 2021

A video plays of highlights from last week’s episode, showing the closing moments of the first round matches for the World Championship tournament. It then shows the debut of CM Punk at the end of the show and him and Moxley staring at each other from a distance

We go to Mauro Ranallo and Nigel McGuinness on commentary “Welcome to the second episode of Thursday Warfare!! What a night we have tonight, the semi finals of the World Championship tournament will take place Jon Moxley takes on Drew Galloway and AJ Styles takes on Bobby Lashley, plus the Xcite division 10 man battle royal in which the final two men will be meeting each other for the Xcite Championship at Revolution! Also tonight we will see action from our womens division for the first time as Lexi Kaufman will battle Shotzi one on one!” McGuiness interjects, “that’s not all, we will see ‘Limitless’ Keith Lee in action as well as hearing from Kenny Omega regarding what happened with Aleister last week. Also tonight.......”

As McGuinness is talking, CM Punk’s theme plays throughout the arena with a huge ovation from the crowd! Ranallo on commentary “Well I guess we’re kicking off Warfare with the newest acquisition of PWU, CM Punk!!” CM Punk makes his way to the ring.

Punk soaks up the atmosphere and CM Punk chants echo throughout the arena. “It’s so good to be back in a wrestling ring! I’ve been gone for over six years...six long years trying to find myself again. I realised that this is where I belong. I know I missed my chance to be in the World Championship tournament but I’m putting out a challenge to the winner of that tournament. It is my destiny to become a World Champion again and I am ready to stake my claim here in PWU!”
Punk is interrupted as Jon Moxley’s music hits!! Punk grins as Moxley makes his way to the ring. Moxley grabs a mic “Well look who it is?...... It’s the failed UFC fighter returning to my world trying to make a claim on something that I’m actually having to fight for. You can’t just come back here and ask for a title match. I’m here fighting in a tournament, fighting with everything in my being to become champion.” The two continue to go back and forth with verbal jibes until Moxley has enough and hits Punk with the microphone followed up with the Paradigm Shift!! A mixed reaction from the fans for Moxley as he leaves the ring pumped up and Punk holds his neck down in the ring.

We go backstage and see Stu Bennett arriving with Sha Samuels (who has a can of beer in his hand) Bennett enters his office and finds it trashed!! There’s paperwork everywhere, desk turned upside down and graffiti on the wall stating “Bennett is a wanker” as well as “Samuels is a bitch” Bennett is furious as Samuels shouts “where’s my beer!? He’s stolen my beer!!” and he and Bennett leave the office immediately to find the culprit.

’Limitless’ Keith Lee vs. Ortiz w/ Santana

We go to our first match with Keith Lee taking on Ortiz. Keith Lee shows his impressive array of moves including an over the top rope plancha, a standing moonsault and a beautifully executed spinebuster. Ortiz gains an advantage after Lee misses a corner splash. Ortiz following up with a super kick to the jaw which gets him a near fall. Ortiz follows up with nice dropkicks and Santana gets involved, choking Keith Lee near the ropes while the ref is distracted. Despite under handed tactics, Lee regains the advantage in the match and after being whipped into the ropes, Lee catches Ortiz with the pounce!! Lee then hits Ortiz with the Supernova for the 1....2....3!

After the match, Santana and Ortiz double team Keith Lee however Lee powers out and gains an advantage sending both Santana and Ortiz to the mat. Jake Hager then appears to help his fellow members of the Inner Circle in AEW!! Hager nails Lee with a huge boot to the face and follows up with a belly to belly suplex to the big guy! Santana and Ortiz then follow up and do a number on Lee. Hager, Santana and Ortiz raise each others arms and leave the ring.

Up next we see Stu Bennett and Sha Samuels barge into Kevin Steen’s locker room. “You think you’re funny dont you Steen!?” Steen looks pretend puzzled “I don’t know what you’re talking about?” Sha Samuels butts in “Yes you do!! You think you can just take my beer and get away with it huh?” Bennett looks at Samuels before continuing “You trashed my office and called me a wanker on my office wall! I know it was you but you need to stop this grudge you have against us cos trust me Steen....you’ll pay for this” Steen laughs “You think I’m scared of you? Or you Samuels? Well maybe now you’ll listen to me. I demanded a rematch with Lashley last week and you denied my request, something which wasn’t a smart move on your part.....” Bennett furiously interjects “Let me tell you something Kevin....it definitely wasn’t a smart move on your part either! Cos tonight, your antics have got you into a handicap match! That’s right....its you against the Good Brothers, Anderson and Gallows. I’ll teach you not to cross me....good luck haha” Bennett and Samuels leave the locker room looking smug. Steen just shakes head before throwing a chair against the wall.

Ranallo and McGuinness on commentary react to what we just heard relating to Kevin Steen taking on the Good Brothers tonight!

Lexi Kaufman vs. Shotzi

Up next, the debut of the PWU Women’s division! This is a decent match, Kaufman taking control early on. Kaufman hits several nice moves including a double knee into the face of Shotzi who is resting her head on the bottom turnbuckle. Lexi hits a nice fisherman suplex but only gets a two count. Shotzi takes advantage after a nice facebuster, followed up with a hurricarana to Lexi! She only receives a two count. Shotzi then gets in a beautiful running enziguiri which again only receives a two count. Shotzi goes for a dragon suplex but Lexi smartly reverses it into a facebuster! Lexi heads to the top rope and hits the twisted moonsault for the 3 count in a really evenly fought match! After the match, Rhea Ripley comes out and destroys both women!! Ripley leaves them both laying in a heap.

Up next, Kenny Omega comes out accompanied by the Young Bucks. Omega talks about what happened last week with Aleister and said it was just a blip early on in his PWU career. He states he is not scared of Aleister and doesn’t get spooked by lame early 90’s special effects. The Young Bucks and Omega make fun of Aleister some more until the lights go out and Aleister appears on stage with the egg timer (which appeared in the video last week) in a cross legged seated position with a spotlight on him. The crowd cheer as Aleister starts talking “You see Kenny....I’m more than just special effects, I’m actually here tonight. I don’t think you understand why I’m here do you so let me explain. I’m praying for you Kenny....and it’s not just you I’m praying for oh no...it’s all of ‘the elite’ Ya see, I’ve seen what’s happened in AEW. You got your friends together and took over the company...stepping on others to get to the top. Well that’s not happening here in PWU. You and your boys thought you’d come in here and take over......but not while I’m here. In PWU, we fight. WE will fight you, so Kenny, Nick, Matt I’m praying for ya. You haven’t got long....see you at Revolution” Aleister leaves the egg timer on the stage in the spotlight.

Ranallo on commentary “Was that a challenge for Revolution!? Sounds like Aleister wants to fight Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks at Revolution?” McGuinness responds “What did Aleister mean by we? I have the feeling he’s not coming alone!!”

We go backstage to Bobby Lashley with Kayla. Kayla asks him about the questionable circumstances regarding his victory last week against Kevin Steen in the first round of the World Championship tournament. Lashley responds by saying he’ll do anything to be World Champion and that he has one goal in PWU....to dominate.

Bobby Lashley vs. AJ Styles

A huge match here with big ramifications. Lashley starts the match in control, using his power to bully AJ Styles. Lashley drives his shoulder into Styles in the corner before hitting him with a belly to belly overhead suplex. Lashley only gets a two count. Lashley continues his assault until Styles gets his feet up into the face of Lashley when he attempts a corner splash, this is followed by a hurricarana. AJ takes some control in the match hitting his combo punched and backhands followed up with a Pele kick! Styles goes for the cover but only a two count. This continues to be a really bag and forth match, at one point Styles thinks he has the match won and goes for a Styles Clash but Lashley is too big and reverses it into a cradle but gets a near two count! Lashley then hits AJ with a huge clothesline. Lashley regains control, until he goes for the Dominator, Styles counters it into a nice arm drag followed up with another Pele kick! Styles sensing his opportunity goes to the apron for flying forearm. Styles jumps but Lashley counters it with a thunderous spear in mid air!! The crowd gasp as Lashley covers, 1.....2......3!! Lashley is going to Revolution!!

Mauro Ranallo on commentary is hyped up, “What a hell of a match we’ve just seen here on uprising!! Either of these guys could of won this but tonight it’s Lashley’s night! Lashley will face either Drew Galloway or Jon Moxley for the PWU World Championship at Revolution!!” Nigel McGuinness also sings the praises of both athletes and tells us Styles should be proud of his efforts here.

We go to a promo for the first Pro Wrestling Uprising Pay Per View, Revolution on March 28th.

We go backstage to Kayla who is standing by with Jon Moxley. Kayla asks Moxley about what happened earlier in the night with CM Punk and is he concerned about a retaliation? Moxley states he is not concerned with Punk and that the only thing he is concerned with is the PWU World Championship. Suddenly out of nowhere, Moxley is attacked from behind!!! It’s CM Punk! Punk brutalises Moxley with a chair, repeatedly hitting him with it in the ribs! Punks attack leaves Moxley in agony, gasping for air. Punk leaves the scene “You’re concerned about me now huh Moxley!? Good luck against Galloway!”

Ranallo on commentary now questions what this attack means for the main event tonight! “How the hell is Moxley gonna compete against Galloway later!? Does this mean Galloway will get a bye into the final and has Punk just cost Moxley a chance to become PWU World Champion?” Nigel McGuinness interrupts “Sorry to cut you off Mauro but I’ve just received word from Stu Bennett’s office that Drew Galloway will still have a semi final match tonight even if Moxley can’t compete. Galloway will face AJ Styles if Moxley is unable to compete. Also Stu Bennett has announced that at Revolution, we will see the first PWU Women’s Champion crowned as there will be a fatal four way between Rhea Ripley, Lexi Kaufman, Shotzi and the winner of a match between BB Crawford and Dr Britt Baker that’ll take place next week on Warfare!” Big announcements made there.

10 Man Xcite Division Battle Royal (Christopher Daniels, Senshi, Ricochet, Sammy Guevara, Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, Adeel Alam, Frankie Kazarian, Rey Fenix, Kip Sabian)

We come to the next match, the final two men in this battle royal will meet at Revolution to become the inaugural Xcite Champion. This match starts like a normal battle royal, brawling everywhere in the ring. The first man eliminated is Frankie Kazarian by Senshi after Senshi is on the apron, Kazarian charges but Senshi pulls him over to the apron and then hits him with a stiff kick to the head, sending him to the outside. Sammy Guevara spends most of the match trying to avoid others. The next elimination is Adeel Alam! Alam goes to hit a 450 splash on Alex Shelley but Guevara comes out on nowhere and pushes him off the top rope into the guardrail below. Down to 8 men! The action continues and next eliminated is Chris Sabin, who is superkicked over the top rope by Ricochet! Kip Sabian is eliminated next, Sabian and Ray Fenix find themselves battling on the ring apron after battling over the top rope, Fenix delivers an incredible springboard DDT onto the apron to Sabian which incapacitates him resulting in Sabian rolling to the outside eliminating him. Next is a double elimination of Christopher Daniels and Senshi! Both men brawling on the top turnbuckle but again Sammy Guevara sneaks up and pushes both men off the top sending them crashing to the floor below! We are down to the final four of Guevara, Rey Fenix, Ricochet and Alex Shelley! These four battle it out and before long we see Ricochet bring a ladder into the match! Rey Fenix battles Ricochet, lots of flips and reversals while Alex Shelley just chops away at Guevara in the corner. Before long we see, Rey Fenix and Shelley ascend to the top of the ladder! The crowd are on their feet as both of them hammer away with right hands on top of the ladder. Ricochet climbs to the top rope and dropkicks the ladder!! It wobbles and Alex Shelley and Rey Fenix crash to the floor outside the ring meaning Ricochet and Sammy Guevara win the battle royal and will face each other for the Xcite Championship at Revolution!

After the match, we see Stu Bennett come out to the stage. “Congratulations gents, quite the display. You two will be facing each other at Revolution but seeing as you like bringing ladders into play Ricochet and I want us to be the best wrestling promotion with the best matches......we’re gonna make that title match, a ladder match!!!” ‘Yes’ chants fill the arena as Ricochet grins and Guevara looks shocked. Ranallo and McGuinness talk about how they cannot wait for that match at Revolution in 2 weeks.

We see a promo from Matt Riddle who tells us he will make his PWU debut next week......bro.

We go back to Mauro Ranallo who tells us what to expect next week on Warfare! We’ll be seeing Matt Riddle in action, as well as the contract signing for the PWU World Heavyweight Championship match at Revolution. We’ll see more from the Xcite division, Crawford and Baker going at it for a shot at the Women’s Championship, and The Young Bucks in tag team action and much more still to be announced!

Kevin Steen vs. The Good Brothers (Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows)

Up next is the handicap match set up by Stu Bennett earlier in the evening. Steen takes the fight to the Good Brothers, not backing down. Steen hits a spinebuster to Doc, before whipping him into the corner followed by a splash and then a cannon ball! Steen is in control however Doc’s size and strength soon is too much for Steen and Steen receives a huge boot to the face followed by a splash for a near fall. Doc tags in Anderson, and Anderson wears Steen down with technical holds. The tide of the match turns however when Anderson tags in Doc, Doc goes to splash Steen in the corner but misses! Steen takes down Anderson with a drop kick and Steen hits a stunner on Doc!! Anderson has the ref distracted while Steen has the match won! Steen gets to his feet shouting at the ref (still distracted) Suddenly we see Sha Samuels make his way to the ring, beer can in hand and he cracks the can over the back of Steen’s head!! Anderson and Gallows then hit the Magic Killer! Gallows covers for the 1.....2.....3! The crowd boo and the Good Brothers win thanks to Sha Samuels interference!

Ranallo and McGuinness talk about the upcoming main event which is scheduled to be Jon Moxley taking on Drew Galloway the winner taking on Bobby Lashley for the PWU World Championship at Revolution. They talk about whether Moxley will be able to compete after the attack by CM Punk earlier.

We then go to Kayla backstage standing along side Drew Galloway. She asks Drew whether he’s concerned about who his opponent is and if Moxley can’t compete does this throw Galloway’s game plan out the window? Galloway responds with “It doesn’t matter whether I face Moxley or Styles, the result is still the same. I am the dominant force in PWU and I will show that tonight. Last week I beat one of the best in Kenny Omega. Tonight, I’ll be showing the world why Drew Galloway wins championships in every company he steps in to. Moxley/Styles whoever....you better be prepared for me...” Galloway walks off looking ready for his match.

Jon Moxley vs. Drew Galloway

Galloway comes out first to a good ovation. After a while, we hear AJ Styles music hit! It appears as though Jon Moxley is too injured to compete! Styles makes his usual entrance but half way down the ramp, we see Jon Moxley! Moxley nails Styles in the head from behind with a clothesline knocking Styles to the ground! Moxley has taped up ribs and definitely looks the worse for wear. Moxley hobbles to the ring and demands the match begins, the ref reluctant to call for the bell but does. Drew goes for the kill straight away working on Moxley’s ribs with kicks. Galloway delivers a clothesline into the corner, knocking Moxley down. Galloway looks in complete control until he goes for a Claymore kick and misses it! Galloway lands hard and Moxley begins to gain some momentum, stomping away and hitting a few elbow drops (which take their toll) Moxley brings Galloway to his feet and whips him off the ropes, catches him with a huge spinning lariat! The fans get behind Moxley despite the crowd being mixed on who they want to win. Moxley goes for the Paradigm Shift but Galloway backs Moxley into the corner! Moxley holds his ribs and Galloway hits him with a big boot to the face sending Moxley crashing down. Galloway has no remorse and picks Moxley up hitting him with a huge gutwrench powerbomb! Galloway covers but only a two count. Gutsy performance from Moxley. Galloway waits for Moxley to get to his feet before hitting him with the Claymore Kick! Moxley gets to his feet holding his ribs and then boom right to the jaw!!! Galloway hits it then covers, 1.......2........3! Its over! Galloway is going to Revolution!

Ranallo on commentary “What a gutsy display by Jon Moxley but it is Drew Galloway who is facing Bobby Lashley at Revolution for the PWU World Championship!!! And speak of the devil.....” we see Bobby Lashley enter the stage and he just stares down Galloway. Galloway signals for him to come and fight him! McGuinness on commentary yells “Are they gonna fight now!? This could be chaos here!” as Warfare goes off the air.

18th March 2021


The show begins with a video package showing what happened last week with Punk/Moxley and the semi finals matches in the PWU World Heavyweight Championship tournament. After this, Mauro Ranallo runs through what we’re expecting at tonight’s Warfare, just two weeks until Revolution! “Tonight we will see Drew Galloway and Bobby Lashley signing the contract for the PWU World Heavyweight Championship, as well as BB Crawford going one on one with DMD Britt Baker, the winner of that goes to the Revolution fatal four way for the PWU Women’s Championship!...Also...”

Ranallo is interrupted by Sammy Guevara’s music!! Ranallo is surprised by Guevara’s arrival as he is not scheduled. Sammy Guevara saunters to the commentary booth near the stage and takes a seat next to Ranallo and McGuinness! McGuinness asks “Sammy, nice to see ya, what you doing here tonight, you’re not scheduled to be here?” Guevara smirks “Thanks Neil, I think I know that. I’m just here to get a closer look at my ‘competition’ at Revolution” McGuinness sounds a bit taken off guard “Ooookay it’s Nigel......but with that let’s get to our first match! Xcite Division action coming at ya!!”

Ricochet vs. Kip Sabian

This one starts at a frantic pace, numerous reversals as the two try to gain an upper hand in the match. Sabian starts the match on top after a rake in the eye followed by big right hands and a nice snap suplex. Sabian controls the match early while Guevara on commentary loves what he is seeing. Sabian focuses on Ricochet’s leg, however an opening appears for Ricochet when Sabian goes up for a moonsault but Ricochet falls into the ropes, crotching his opponent on the top turnbuckle. This is followed up with a poisonrana which only gets a two! Ricochet favours his leg throughout the match but he still hits a flurry of high flying moves including numerous dropsaults and a tilt-a-whirl hurricarana! Sabian tries to get a rest on the outside but Ricochet dives to the outside and hits a corkscrew plancha!! The crowd love what they are seeing from Ricochet however Guevara has seen enough from the commentary booth and runs down the ramp, attacking Ricochet from behind causing a DQ!!

The crowd boo as Guevara targets Ricochet’s leg, even hitting it three times with a steel chair! Guevara rolls Ricochet in the ring and connects with the burning GTH knocking Ricochet senseless!! Guevara smirks and leaves the ring area as the crowd boo.

“What a coward Sammy Guevara is!!” Ranallo exclaims. “We saw in the battle royal last week that he doesn’t wanna mix it up with the rest of the Xcite division and tonight he blindsides Ricochet and attacks him with a chair!!” McGuinness responds “Well Guevara will have to get in there and fight eventually but you can’t argue with the strategy of taking out Ricochet’s leg especially as their match for the Xcite Championship is a ladder match!!”

Up next we go backstage to the Young Bucks, who are asked about their tag team match tonight against Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian. Kayla also asks whether they are intimidated by Aleister’s words of warning last week. The Bucks state that they are not worried about Aleister as they have been threatened their whole lives due to their stature. This threat from Aleister is nothing new to them and if anything Aleister is threatened by them and Kenny Omega’s success.

We come back after this interview and into our next match.

Matt Riddle vs. Adeel Alam

Matt Riddle making his debut in PWU against Adeel Alam from the Xcite division. Matt Riddle puts on an impressive display in this one, using numerous quick technical moves and hard kicks to wear down Alam. Alam does gain some offense after Riddle misses a middle rope corkscrew dive. Alam hammers away on Riddle before setting him up for a top rope hurricarana but Riddle counters it into a powerbomb! Riddle then hits the top rope corkscrew dive, followed up by two senton splashes, then he finishes the match off with the Bro Derek for the 1....2....3!! Impressive debut from Matt Riddle in PWU.

After the match, Matt Riddle grabs a microphone. The crowd chant for Riddle and he looks down at Alam and just says “Brrroooooooo” the crowd cheer but just as Riddle is about to speak, we see PAC come from the crowd and he kicks Riddle right in the back of the head knocking him to the mat!! The crowd are shocked and Pac locks Riddle in the ‘Brutaliser’!! After officials come out to break it up, PAC shouts at Riddle “You’re not doing that s**t here!! No catchphrase is keeping me from fulfilling my destiny!!” PAC kicks Riddle for good measure before leaving to a chorus of boos. Ranallo and McGuinness are shocked on commentary “What the hell was that about!? PAC just appeared out of nowhere and brutalised Matt Riddle! “ McGuinness continues “Well PAC obviously has something against Riddle’s catchphrases but that can’t be the only reason? Maybe he was pissed that Riddle got a match on Warfare before him?”

Just after Riddle leaves the ring, we hear Jon Moxley’s music play!! Moxley makes his way to the ring with his ribs bandaged up after last week’s brutal attack by CM Punk. Moxley demands a mic which he receives. “Okay enough of this bulls**t, Punk I know you are here, let’s fight!!” The fans cheer and chant for Moxley, however instead of CM Punk we see Stu Bennett and Sha Samuels make their way to the ring! Bennett starts talking on the mic as they both climb into the ring “Whoa whoa hold your horses there sunshine! CM Punk is not here tonight as I suspended him for a week for getting involved in the World Championship tournament and for injuring you before your big match with Galloway. To be honest even if he was here, I wouldn’t let you two fight, not here anyway! Why would we waste that on these people!? (The crowd boo) however I have taken into consideration how badly you want to get your hands on CM Punk so because of that, I have made the match for Revolution. It’ll be you versus CM Punk in a street fight! How does that sound?” Moxley responds “It sounds great.....but if I know you like I think I do, I feel like there’s a catch somewhere.” Bennett smiles “You know Moxley.....you’re not as stupid as you look. You see, despite CM Punk currently on a week’s suspension, you sir are not. This means you will be competing tonight in the main event against......” Bennett is interrupted by Kevin Steen’s music!! Bennett and Samuels glance at each other while Moxley smirks and Steen rushes to the ring with a chair in hand! “All the crap Steen has put up with from Bennett and Samuels so far, they deserve this!!” Ranallo exclaims. Bennett leaves the ring but Moxley holds Samuels to make sure he’s going nowhere! Steen nails Samuels in the gut with the chair and then hits him in the back with it! Bennett pulls Samuels out of the ring and grabs a mic “STOP!! STOP NOW!! Okay Steen, you want Samuels? Fine, you and Samuels one on one at Revolution!! Tonight though, you two can take your frustrations out on.....each other!!! That’s right, tonight, Jon Moxley vs. Kevin Steen!! Have fun lads...” Bennett is pleased with himself as Moxley and Steen glare at each other.

We come back to Nigel McGuinness “Well what about those announcements from our GM!! Two new matches for Revolution as CM Punk will go one on one with Jon Moxley in a street fight!! Also, Kevin Steen will finally get his hands on Sha Samuels as they will go one on one at Revolution.” Ranallo continues “That’s huge but still to come tonight, the contract signing for the PWU World Championship match at Revolution between Drew Galloway and Bobby Lashley as well as our main event, Kevin Steen facing Jon Moxley. Up next though it’s our women’s division!”

BB Crawford vs. DMD Britt Baker

BB starts the match on top after catching Baker off guard, whipping her hair into the face of Baker! Baker checks her teeth but then takes a clothesline by BB followed up by a hard body slam. BB hits an elbow drop but only gets a two count. BB continues her offense, showing her power, hitting Baker with a nice gutwrench suplex, again only a two count after the cover. BB lifts Baker by the hair but Baker hits her with two hard right hands to the gut then whips her into the corner, following up with a high knee to the face! Baker then hits BB with a nice bulldog but only gets a two count. This one continues to go back and forth in a decent match, BB with the strength advantage throughout. Baker tries to hit BB with a shining wizard but BB’s strength is unreal as she catches her before lifting her in the air and dropping her with a sit out powerbomb! BB covers but again a near fall! BB delivers a hand spring moonsault but again a near fall! BB goes for a KOD but Baker counters and delivers a codebreaker!! 1....2....no!! BB kicks out! ‘This is awesome’ chants break out, the crowd showing their gratitude at this back and forth match. Baker goes for the Baker buster but BB counters it into a fisherman’s buster! BB then waits for Baker to get to her feet, KOD connects! 1....2.....3! BB Crawford is going to Revolution!!

Up next we go backstage to Kayla Braxton who tracks down Jon Moxley. “Jon, what are your thoughts on facing Kevin Steen tonight, thanks to our GM Stu Bennett?” Moxley glares at her but responds “All I know is......that at Revolution, CM Punk will be getting his ass kicked. In some ways, I’m glad I lost to Galloway last week now it means I have my victim for Revolution in Punk. The PWU World Championship will still be there for me once I’m through with Punk. As for tonight, Steen is just another victim of Jon Moxley. Sure I helped him out earlier but that dont mean s**t, I mean who doesn’t wanna see Sha Samuels and Bennett get their ass kicked right? They done CM Punk a favour tonight but unfortunately for you Steen, you will still have to be my victim” Moxley walks off, pumped up for his match.

We go to the commentary desk where Ranallo and McGuinness show us the recent activity involving Aleister and Kenny Omega while the Young Bucks make their way to the ring for their match.

The Young Bucks vs. Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian

The match starts with Nick Jackson and Kazarian, the two lock up resulting in a corner break but Kazarian hits a forearm right to the face! Kazarian boots Nick repeatedly in the gut in the corner showing some aggression. Kazarian then picks him up by the hair and hits a nice suplex. Kazarian tags Daniels but Nick catches him coming in with a nice hip toss followed up by a nice dropkick. The pace quickens and we see a flurry of arm drags by Nick followed by a nice hurricarana. Nick tags in Matt, who picks up where Nick left off. Matt hits a nice snap suplex, followed by a dropkick which sends Daniels to the outside of the ring. Matt then follows up with a sommersault plancha to the outside, taking Daniels down!! Matt then drags Daniels back into the ring. After a while, the match descends into chaos with Matt and Kazarian getting involved and all four men brawling in the ring. Suddenly, the lights go out!!!!

We see Aleister sitting cross legged in a spotlight on the stage with a mic in his hand “Hello Nick.....hello Matt” the action stops in the ring and all four men look at Aleister. “You see this egg-timer I have next to me is nearing the end....as are you. Tell Kenny we said hi....” the egg-timer runs out and suddenly the lights come on and we see Killer Cross and Adam Scherr (formerly Braun Strowman) standing in the ring behind the two tag teams!! Cross and Scherr destroy both teams, Kross hits a double northern lights suplex to Daniels and Nick Jackson, while Scherr hits a hard double clothesline on Kazarian and Matt!!! Cross boots Daniels out of the ring and chokes out Nick with a sleeper! Scherr throws out Kazarian and Matt tries to fight back but Scherr just throws him in the air and lets him land on his front, huge impact!! “Holy s**t” chants echo throughout the arena as Kross and Scherr leave the ring, after leaving both teams in a heap. Aleister gets to his feet and applauds these two monsters! Aleister tells them “You’re work is done for tonight....good job” before they all head backstage.

”What the hell was that!? Is this what Aleister meant by ‘we’!? Those two monsters!?” Ranallo screams on commentary. McGuinness then responds “I’m stunned....I don’t get why or how he even....all I know is....that the landscape of PWU has just changed with those two monsters!”

We come back from a commercial break and we see Kayla knocking on Stu Bennett’s door. “Sorry Mr Bennett, I just wanted your reaction to what we just saw involving Aleister, Killer Kross and Adam Scherr?” Bennett responds “Well talk about make an impact!! I’m thinking that next week we have Kross and Scherr versus Daniels and Kazarian! Clearly they have an issue with The Young Bucks and if they win next week, they get a match with The Young Bucks at Revolution!! Oh and as for Aleister he will get his wish......he will face Kenny Omega at Revolution. Now excuse me, I need to prepare for the contract signing later tonight...”

Up next we see Claudio Castagnoli come to the ring. The fans are fully behind Castagnoli here as Castagnoli takes the microphone. Castagnoli is frustrated that he hasn’t received a match since the first episode of Warfare and is demanding a match tonight! Castagnoli says he is confident in his abilities and issues an open challenge to anybody backstage for right now! After a short wait, Jake Hager answers! These two have history in the WWE. Hager is accompanied by Santana and Ortiz for this match.

Claudio Castagnoli vs. Jake Hager

This one gets under way with a lock up, Hager goes behind Castagnoli and delivers numerous waistlock takedowns, eventually leading into a side headlock. Castagnoli eventually breaks out of it and the two men have a stand off. Hager offers his hand for a handshake but when Claudio accepts it, Hager forearms him to the face and delivers a big boot to the face!! Hager then attempts an ankle lock but Claudio counters and sends Hager outside the ring!! Claudio goes to the outside and whips Hager into the stairs! Claudio brings Hager back in the ring and gets the upper hand, going through his catalogue of offense, including a gutwrench suplex which only got a two. Claudio looks as though he’s going to hit the neutraliser but Ortiz climbs on the apron distracting the referee! Santana pulls a pair of brass knucks from his tights while the ref is distracted and clocks Claudio with them knocking him out! Hager then locks in his triangle choke and the ref turns around and calls for the bell! Jake Hager wins, thanks to Santana.

Hager, Santana and Ortiz pose in the ring over Claudio but outcomes Keith Lee!! Keith Lee chases away Hager, Santana and Ortiz and checks on Castagnoli.

We go to the commentary desk and Ranallo informs us that they have received word that next week on Warfare, Stu Bennett will have an announcement regarding two new titles in PWU that we will see in the near future. Also next week, Drew Galloway will team up with Keith Lee and Ricochet to take on Bobby Lashley, Sammy Guevara and Jake Hager in a six man tag team main event! and we will also see Kenny Omega next week and hear from him before his match with Aleister at Revolution. Adam Scherr and Killer Kross taking on Daniels and Kazarian, the Xcite Division and much more on the go home Warfare! “That’s all next week but right now it’s time for your main event! Then after, we the contract signing between Drew Galloway and Bobby Lashley will take place!”

Jon Moxley vs Kevin Steen

Moxley and Steen start the match throwing rights and lefts at each other, resulting in Steen taking Moxley down to the mat followed by more right hands! Steen puts the boots to Moxley before throwing him out of the ring through the middle rope. Steen then sends Moxley crashing into the stairs! Moxley is sat by the stairs and Steen hits a cannon ball into him!! Big impact by Steen! Steen rolls into the ring as Moxley recovers outside. Steen tries to reach over the top rope to bring Moxley back into the ring but Moxley counters and hangs Steen across the top rope, sending him reeling. Moxley then connects with a huge lariat, goes for a cover but only a two count! Moxley takes control of the match, choking Steen on the mat and hitting him with several punches. Moxley picks Steen up and hits a back suplex. Moxley continues his assault and connects perfectly with a top rope standing elbow to the head of Steen! Steen goes down, Moxley covers but only a two count. Moxley goes for the Paradigm Shift but Steen reverses into a northern lights suplex! Steen then levels Moxley with a spinning heel kick, he covers but only a two. He puts the boots to Moxley and then goes to the top rope before attempting a frog splash which misses the target! Both men make it to their feet and slug it out in the middle of the ring, Steen whips Moxley into the corner but misses a splash! Moxley follows up with a huge bulldog! He only gets a near fall. Moxley then waits for Steen to get to his feet and hits a beautiful jumping tornado DDT! Moxley again only gets a two count! Moxley looks frustrated and picks Steen up, Paradigm Shift countered and Steen hits a pop up sit-out powerbomb!! Steen covers, 1....2.....no! Kick out! Steen can’t believe it and attempts his Pop Up Powerbomb but Moxley goes behind Steen and hits the Paradigm Shift! Cover, 1......2......3!!! Moxley wins in a hard fought match! The crowd are on their feet applauding the efforts of both men in this back and forth match!

”What a main event that was!! Great effort from both guys there...” shouts McGuinness. Ranallo continues “Steen and Moxley are two of the best here in PWU regardless of what our GM might think...what a match!” We go backstage and we see Stu Bennett with a smirk on his face walking down the hallway with the contract in his hand for Revolution’s PWU World Championship match contract signing coming next!!

We come back from commercial and see the table set up in the ring with Stu Bennett on the microphone. “Ladies and Gentleman, it’s time for the contract signing between Bobby Lashley and Drew Galloway for their PWU World Championship match at Revolution. Bennett introduces both men to the ring, Lashley getting booed and the fans very much behind Galloway. The two men stand either side of the table and go face to face before taking their seats. Bennett asks if either of them have anything to say before they sign the contract. Galloway speaks first “Bobby, I hope you know what you are getting yourself into by signing this contract. You are indeed an absolute physical specimen and a hell of an athlete but I don’t think you understand how badly I need this title. In the other promotion, I was the top dog but I had nothing left to prove there. Here is where my career starts again and there’s not a chance that you’re taking this opportunity from the Scottish Nightmare. If you faced anybody else that was in the tournament in this match, you would be the favourite....but not this time.” Galloway takes the contract and signs it before pushing it towards Lashley. Bennett asks Lashley if he has any response to which Lashley stands up. Galloway follows suit and also stands, these two giants now face to face! The crowd are pumped as Galloway talks trash to Lashley but instead of saying anything, Lashley slams the table into Galloway’s mid section! Bennett leaves the ring as Lashley then hoists Galloway in the air and drops him with a Dominator sending Galloway crashing through the table!! Galloway holds his ribs as Lashley cooly picks up the contract, signs it, then throws it down on to Galloway. We see the shot of Lashley standing over an injured Galloway as Warfare goes off the air!!

This is starting to look like the year of Lashley.

25th March 2021

Before the show starts, we see a video package highlighting the best bits from last week’s Warfare (Moxley/Steen, the debut of Scherr and Kross, Matt Riddle’s debut/PAC attack afterwards)

The camera then scans across the packed crowd in Jacksonville, Florida for the go home episode of Warfare just 3 days before Revolution!! The crowd are pumped as we see Stu Bennett in the ring surrounded by the majority of the roster outside the ring. Mauro Ranallo starts off on commentary, “Welcome everyone to Warfare, just three days before our first Pay Per View, Revolution! We are kicking off with Stu Bennett’s announcement regarding two new championships that will be introduced in PWU so with that let’s go to Stu Bennett”

Stu Bennett is in the ring as the crowd boo “Quiten down (crowd boo louder)....pipe down you morons and have some respect for your general manager!!” Stu waits for a few seconds before continuing “Better......now then I have some important business to announce. In PWU, we have a huge roster of talented individuals, the majority of which are more than capable of being the face of this company. Unfortunately, not all of them can be the PWU World Heavyweight Champion so on that basis and in the interest of producing the best wrestling program out there and having the best competition, I am proud to announce the PWU International Heavyweight Championship. This title will be the second main event world championship in this company so our roster now has double the chance of being a champion. (The crowd cheer) I have decided that this title will be initially fought for by the runners up in the opening round matches for the World Heavyweight Championship tournament.....except Kevin Steen and Kenny Omega. You see Kevin Steen is already involved with my enforcer Sha Samuels, so will not be competing for this title and Kenny Omega is already involved with Aleister..” (the crowd boo and chants ‘Fight Steen Fight’) Bennett sarcastically continues “I know, I’m upset about that too...haha. So the two matches in this tournament will be Adam Cole taking on Prince Devitt and AJ Styles taking on an opponent which will be decided later tonight. Tonight, Claudio Castagnoli will face PAC and Matt Riddle in a triple threat match to determine who faces AJ Styles. Those first two tournament matches will take place next week on Warfare with the final between the winners of those matches taking place on Warfare on April 8th!!”

“Wow what an announcement by Stu Bennett!! Another title in PWU? That’s awesome!” McGuinness exclaims on commentary. Ranallo responds “That’s huge news, giving all the roster a second world title opportunity in this company.....apart from Kevin Steen it seems!”

Bennett continues “Now on to my second announcement. Here in PWU, we have an abundance of great tag teams meaning they need a title to fight for too. Now I realise this is a little out of the blue but given the number of great tag teams we have here I’ve decided to speed things up. So at Revolution, we will also be crowning new Tag Team Champions in a six team Tag Team Turmoil match. Now last week, I announced that Killer Kross and Adam Scherr and The Young Bucks would possibly face each other at Revolution depending on the outcome of a match tonight. However, I may have been a little rash in announcing that so in the interest of competition that match is now going to happen tonight and instead at Revolution, we will see Daniels and Kazarian, Santana and Ortiz, FTR, The Young Bucks, Adam Scherr and Killer Kross and a mystery team, all compete to become the first PWU Tag Team Champions.”

The Young Bucks look at each other then look at Bennett in distain as he leaves the ring.

Ranallo shouts on commentary “How is it fair that The Bucks meet Kross and Scherr tonight, three days before this newly announced Tag Team Turmoil match!!” McGuinness responds “I agree that the odds are stacked against The Bucks but if you want to be the best in PWU then you need to beat everyone in front of you including those two monsters!” Ranallo states “You have a point there but I can’t see how anybody in that Tag Team Title match would beat Scherr and Kross! Well in any event, we have a huge night of action tonight here on Warfare!! A triple threat match between Claudio Castagnoli, PAC and Matt Riddle to determine who will meet AJ Styles next week as well as our huge six man tag team main event, Drew Galloway teaming with ‘Limitless’ Keith Lee and Ricochet to take on Bobby Lashley, Sammy Guevara and Jake Hager in our main event! As you heard, The Bucks will be taking on Adam Scherr and Killer Kross plus we will hear from Kenny Omega tonight! Let’s get to our opening match!”

Rhea Ripley vs. Ember Moon

This one is a very physical match, Ripley hammers away on Moon before the bell sounds and takes control of the match immediately. Ripley boots Moon repeatedly in the corner before driving her shoulders into Moon’s ribs. Ripley then delivers a beautiful T-bone suplex out of the corner, driving Moon to the mat. Ripley goes for a cover but only gets a two count. Ripley dominates the match until attempting an elbow drop from the middle turnbuckle which misses. Moon gets offense in and mounts Ripley, hitting her with hard lefts and rights. Moon then picks Ripley up and delivers a single leg dropkick followed by a clothesline, then a fallaway slam! Ember covers but only gets a two count. Ember continues to be on the offensive but is cut off when attempting a flatliner and Ripley reverses it with numerous knees to the face followed by a snap mare then a dropkick. Ripley takes over the match, hitting a delayed vertical suplex followed by a belly to back facebuster. She then locks Moon in the Prism Trap!! Moon has no choice but to tap out. Ripley scores a big win before her Fotal Four Way match at Revolution!!

Ranallo on commentary claims we could be seeing the first PWU Women’s Champion!! McGuinness agrees with him and says Rhea Ripley must be the favourite going in to that Four Way match with Lexi Kaufman, Shotzi and BB Crawford.

We next see a video package for Revolution looking at the rivalry between Jon Moxley and CM Punk.

After the video, CM Punk’s music hits!! The crowd go crazy as CM Punk makes his way down to the ring. Punk sits in the middle of the ring and takes a microphone. “So where were we Jon? Oh yeah that’s right, last time I saw you, you were on the ground backstage holding your ribs. It didn’t have to be like this Jon but you struck first, 2 weeks ago on Warfare. You decided to stick your nose in CM Punk’s business because you couldn’t face the thought of another superstar overshadowing you much like your entire WWE career. It never was about you was it Jon? It was always about Roman. Then you went to AEW and I admit you’ve had relative success. Here in PWU though it’s gonna be a different story because we are about to witness the Summer of Punk part two. Cos once I’m through with you at Revolution, I’m taking that World Heavyweight Title and I will be the face of this company.” Punk is about to leave but Moxley’s music hits!

Punk gestures to the ramp, awaiting Moxley’s arrival but Moxley comes from the crowd behind Punk with a steel chair in hand! Moxley smashes Punk repeatedly with a chair as the crowd go nuts! Moxley chokes Punk as officials pour out from the back trying to break it up. Moxley continues his assault and gets a table from under the ring!! Moxley mounts Punk and hits repeated right hands before setting the table up in the ring! Moxley threatens the officials to get out of his way and places Punk on the table. Moxley goes to the top rope as the crowd are at fever pitch. Punk seems to get his bearings just in time and rolls off the table and out of the ring, backing away up the entrance way quickly!! The crowd boo and Moxley tries to go after Punk but the officials stop him. Moxley grabs the mic from the mat “Punk...you may of escaped this time but at Revolution there is no escape. Consider this a friendly warning and a preview of what’s to come this Sunday!!”

Ranallo on commentary, “Moxley sending a message to CM Punk right before Revolution!! What a fight that’s gonna be!” McGuinness responds “That’s exactly it Mauro, it’s gonna be a fight. These two men have now attacked each other but at Revolution, they’re going to finally meet officially in a street fight! I can’t wait!”

Next we see a video package for Revolution focusing on Aleister vs. Kenny Omega

We come back and it’s time for our next match.

The Young Bucks vs. ‘The Monster’ Adam Scherr and Killer Kross

Before the match, we see Aleister accompany Scherr and Kross. He sits on the stage cross legged to watch the match. The Bucks try to attack quickly, jumping all over Kross and Scherr. It has little effect however as Kross hits Nick Jackson with a release belly to back suplex and Scherr hits Matt Jackson with a gorilla press slam with huge impact! Kross tosses Nick out of the ring while Scherr continues his assault on Matt swinging him around in a cobra clutch before throwing him to the mat. The referee tries to gain control but Scherr and Kross decimate their opponents with no semblance of order so the ref calls for the bell, calling a no contest!!

This doesn’t stop the destruction as Kross chokes out Nick on the outside while Scherr hits Matt with a front chokeslam! Aleister is pleased with what he sees and makes his way to the ring. Aleister climbs in the ring and instructs Scherr to hold Matt Jackson in place. Aleister looks into the camera and says “This is for you Kenny” and hits Matt with an almighty roundhouse kick knocking him out! Suddenly we see Kenny Omega race down the ramp armed with a baseball bat! Omega takes out Killer Kross on the outside with a shot to the ribs with the bat! Scherr goes after Omega but Omega hits Scherr in the legs with the bat before breaking the bat over Scherr’s massive back!! Kenny then pushes Scherr into the ringpost! Kenny then looks into the ring, him and Aleister stare at each other for a second before Omega rolls into the ring but the lights then go out!! When the lights come back on, Aleister and his henchmen are standing on the stage! Omega looks confused but grabs a microphone “I don’t blame you for getting the hell out of dodge Aleister. Just know that at Revolution, I will show you why I am the greatest wrestler in the world. You’ve made this personal and myself and The Bucks will put an end to all your supernatural s**t. You see, you seem to think you’re the only one who can bring an army!? How naive you must be Aleister. Your days are numbered and I don’t do threats.....unlike you, I make promises that turn into spoilers. See you at Revolution!” Kenny Omega checks on the condition of The Young Bucks as Aleister and his henchmen make their way to the back.

“How about that for a response to Aleister! What a match that’s gonna be at Revolution!” Ranallo exclaims on commentary. McGuinness states, “I’m not sure that Aleister knows what he’s getting in to at Revolution! Then again the same could be said for Kenny Omega! All I know is, that’s gonna be a hell of a match!”

We come back from commercials and we see Christopher Daniels in Stu Bennett’s office where Bennett and Sha Samuels are sat. Daniels is complaining that he and Kazarian were supposed to be in action tonight but the match was given to The Young Bucks. Daniels states he wants a warm up match for his and Kazarian’s tag team turmoil match on Sunday at Revolution. Bennett responds, “You mean to tell me you wanted to face Kross and Scherr tonight!? Well I done you a favour then didn’t I? cos look at what they did to The Young Bucks. I like to think of myself as a fair man however, so tonight as you’re here YOU will be in action in a warm up match. You will be facing another man who needs a warm up match before Revolution.....the man sat next to me! My enforcer, Sha Samuels!!” Samuels grins as Daniels looks pissed and leaves Bennett’s office.

Next we see a video package for Revolution focusing on the Xcite Championship ladder match between Ricochet and Sammy Guevara


Claudio Castagnoli vs. Matt Riddle vs. PAC

Up next is the triple threat match to determine the final place in the PWU International Heavyweight Championship tournament! This one starts off with PAC and Riddle going at it throwing forearms at each other after what happened last week. Castagnoli just stands watching them for a moment before hitting them both with a double clothesline knocking them both down. Claudio catches PAC coming at him and hits him with a back body drop, Riddle then tries a knee but Claudio blocks it and hits Riddle with a flap jack. PAC does finally get the upper hand and hits Claudio with a dropkick from behind, sending him to the outside of the ring. PAC picks up Riddle and hits him with a few kicks, until Riddle catches PAC’s foot and hits him with a spinning heel kick. Riddle covers but only a two count. Riddle then goes for a senton splash which connects. Castagnoli comes back into the ring and hits Riddle with a spinning flying elbow. Real back and forth action here, each man desperate to get that final spot in this tournament. Big offense in this match, including a huge double reverse german suplex from the top turnbuckle by Castagnoli!! PAC attempts to hit Riddle with a top rope german suplex but Castagnoli goes behind PAC and all three men go down from the german suplex resulting in applause from the crowd! Castagnoli covers Riddle but only a two count. The three men recover and throw right hands at each other consecutively eventually ending with Riddle knocking Castagnoli out of the ring then kicking PAC to the mat. Riddle then goes to the top rope and hits Castagnoli with a flying cross body! PAC then gets to his feet and charges at the ropes hitting a springboard shooting star press on to both men outside the ring!! The match continues with PAC rolling Riddle into the ring and locking him in the Brutaliser!! It looks like Riddle is in trouble but Castagnoli breaks it up and lifts PAC in the air before hitting him with a mid air forearm! PAC rolls out of the ring but Riddle then hits a high knee on Castagnoli followed by an exploder suplex! Riddle then goes for the Bro Derek but it is reversed into an Alabama Slam followed up by a Sharpshooter!! Riddle struggles but gets to the ropes, however PAC pushes his fingers off the ropes allowing Castagnoli to drag Riddle away from the ropes resulting in Riddle tapping out!! Castagnoli wins! PAC is furious and floors both men after the match, locking in the Brutaliser on both men.

Ranallo shouts “Another cheap attack by the bastard PAC!! A sore loser, but what a victory by Claudio Castagnoli who will now face AJ Styles on Warfare next week for a shot at the PWU International Championship!!” McGuinness responds with “What a match here on Warfare! A well deserved win for Castagnoli. Him and AJ will tear the house down next week”

We see a video package for Revolution focusing on the Fatal Four Way match for the PWU Women’s Championship.

We go backstage to Kayla Braxton who is standing by with Adam Cole and his girlfriend Britt Baker! Kayla asks Cole about his match next week and how does he rate his chances advancing in the tournament? Adam Cole tells Kayla that there is a very high chance of him being victorious and despite the slight set back last week, Britt will also be a champion soon and they will be the power couple in PWU. Cole talks about the titles he has won all over the world including the NXT Championship. He then talks about Britt’s tenacity and he knows that she will earn her title match soon enough. Baker agrees with Cole and says “Last week, BB was lucky. Well she won’t get that luck again and once I get my title shot I will take that opportunity. However for now, our attention is solely on the PWU International Championship and there is only one rightful champion....and that’s Adam Cole......(she looks at Adam Cole and strokes his face) Babaayyy!”

Christopher Daniels w/Frankie Kazarian vs. Sha Samuels

This one gets under way with Sha Samuels using his size to his advantage, over powering Daniels whipping him into the corner followed by a corner splash. Samuels then hits Daniels with a samoan drop. He covers but only a two count. Samuels goes for a suplex but is blocked, Daniels counters into a short arm clothesline that sends the big man down. Daniels then meets him with a drop kick, rocking Samuels and then follows up with a sling blade which takes him down! Daniels then hits a series of quick leg drops but only gets a two count after a pin attempt. Daniels keeps Samuels grounded with quick elbow drops followed by Daniels’ patented double jump moonsault! Daniels again covers but only a two count. Daniels calls for the Angel Wings face buster but Samuels counters backing Daniels into the turnbuckle hard! Samuels then catches Daniels with a huge spine buster followed up by a springboard moonsault of his own!! Incredible agility by a man of Samuels size! Samuels covers but only gets a two count!! Samuels looks pissed and whips Daniels off the ropes and catches him with a standing cross body! Daniels holds his ribs but Samuels locks him in the Butcher’s Hook finisher! Daniels has nowhere to go and taps out! Impressive win by Sha Samuels!

After the match, Samuels grabs a beer from a fan in the front row and shouts in the camera “That one’s for you Steen!! This is what awaits you at Revolution!” Samuels then downs the beer then walks to the back while Frankie Kazarian checks on his fallen teammate.

Next we go to Mauro Ranallo and Nigel McGuinness who runs down the final Revolution card “We have just heard from the office of Stu Bennett that two more matches have officially been signed for Revolution, Matt Riddle will take on PAC and we will also see ‘Limitless’ Keith Lee taking on Jake Hager, both undefeated thus far in PWU. That’ll be an interesting match.” McGuinness says “In the words of JR, that will be a slobberknocker when Hager and Keith Lee collide and what about PAC versus Riddle! That’s got potential Match of The Year written all over it!”

Next we see a video package for Revolution focusing on the PWU World Heavyweight Championship tournament final between Bobby Lashley and Drew Galloway.

We go backstage to Drew Galloway for his thoughts on the upcoming six man tag team match and his thoughts heading into Revolution this Sunday. He states that it doesn’t matter who is on his team as he is purely focused on Bobby Lashley right now. He says “Lashley, last week you thought you got one over me when you put me through that table. Well all you did was awaken a beast inside me and made your job a whole hell of a lot harder. I am taking that title on Sunday but tonight you’re gonna get a special preview of what’s to come. As for Hager and Guevara....I suggest they stay out of my way and I’ll let Keith Lee and Ricochet handle them.”

Drew Galloway, Keith Lee and Ricochet vs. Bobby Lashley, Jake Hager and Sammy Guevara

This six man tag match starts off with Jake Hager and Keith Lee but Sammy Guevara tags himself in before they start. Guevara feels confident so he walks up to Keith Lee and slaps him across the face! Guevara smirks but Keith Lee sends him tumbling back to his corner after a huge slap of his own! Guevara then tags in Lashley. Lashley and Lee start the match off with a test of strength which is very even, Lee breaks in the corner but Lashley hits a series of forearms before knocking the big man down with a clothesline. Lashley then clubs Lee to the back, whips him off the ropes, Lee leapfrogs and catches Lashley will a nice dropkick sending him down!! Lee follows this up with a scoop slam followed by an elbow drop which only gets a two count. Lee tags in Ricochet who tries to keep Lashley grounded but the match turns when Ricochet attempts a cross body, is caught then Lashley delivers a fallaway slam. Lashley tags in Guevara who now wants in as Ricochet is down and Guevara puts the boots to Ricochet. Guevara works over Ricochet’s leg for a while before going for a figure four leg lock but Ricochet counters and sends Guevara into the ring post shoulder first! Ricochet looks to make the tag but Guevara manages to stop him and then tags in Hager. Hager uses his strength and power hitting Ricochet with a series of gut-wrench suplexes but only gets a two count after the cover. Hager taunts Ricochet, stopping him getting to his corner controlling the match but Ricochet makes the hot tag to Galloway after rolling through an ankle lock attempt sending Hager into the corner! Lashley tags himself in, Galloway comes in and cleans house, clotheslines to Hager, a big boot to Guevara and even catches Lashley with an overhead belly to belly! Ricochet dives over the top rope with a sommersault plancha to Guevara on the outside while Keith Lee throws Hager into the ring steps! Galloway runs at Lashley and hits a Claymore Kick! Lashley somehow gets to his feet but Galloway hits another Claymore Kick!! Galloway covers, 1.....2.....3!! What a message sent to Bobby Lashley three days before Revolution!

Galloway celebrates the win with his team but they are attacked from behind by the losing team! Guevara takes out Ricochet, Hager and Lee brawl as do Lashley and Galloway at the same time!! Everyone is brawling in and out of the ring, we see more of the roster running down as Ranallo shouts “It’s chaos here, we’ll see you at Revolution!!” as Warfare goes off the air.

We start off with a video package showing the feuds leading up to the matches tonight. A voiceover narrates “For years pro wrestling has been predictable......one sided.....stale. However there is a revolution upon us. Wrestling popularity is on the rise, this band of superstars (showing Moxley, Punk, Galloway, Lashley, Omega, Aleister, BB Crawford, Shotzi, Kaufman and Ripley) tonight will give it everything they have and leave everything in the hallowed ground of the squared circle. There is a new contender in the fight and these superstars are going to change the face of professional wrestling forever. It’s time for the old flame to be extinguished, it’s time for the glory days of sports entertainment to return, it’s time for a change.......the Revolution starts now......”

We then see the camera pan through the crowd in the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Chicago Illinois!! The arena is packed full of fans and. ‘P Dub U’ chant starts out early as we go down to our commentary team of Mauro Ranallo and Nigel McGuinness!

Ranallo starts talking first, “What an honour it is to be here for the inaugural Pro Wrestling Uprising pay per view, Revolution!!” McGuinness responds “That’s right Mauro, a huge night tonight and the Revolution in professional wrestling really does start here. What a show we have in store!”
Ranallo, “Indeed we do, four championship matches decided tonight, four new champions will be crowned, we have Bobby Lashley going up against Drew Galloway with the winner crowned the first ever PWU World Heavyweight Champion. We also have a fatal four way for the Women’s World Championship, Shotzi, Rhea Ripley, Lexi Kaufman and BB Crawford all battle to be our first women’s champion.” McGuinness continues, “Let’s not forget the ladder match for the Xcite Championship and the tag team turmoil match to crown the first PWU Tag Team Champions!” Ranallo continues, “We also have CM Punk battling Jon Moxley in which promises to be an all out war, Kenny Omega looking to get his hands on Aleister and much much more as we go to our first match to kick off Revolution!....”

The ring announcer Justin Roberts makes his introductions, Riddle getting a nice ovation with ‘Bro!’ chants echoing throughout the Sears Centre. PAC then enters to boos, and covers his ears as the fans once again chant for Riddle.

Matt Riddle vs. PAC

The match begins with the two men meeting in the middle of the ring and PAC slapping Matt Riddle hard across the face. Riddle grins and hits PAC with a huge slap, spinning him around and then hitting a quick german suplex pin attempt but only a two! Riddle follows up with knees and kicks, taking PAC into the corner. Riddle then attempts a monkey flip but PAC lands on his feet and tries to follow up with a drop kick which also misses! Riddle then missed an elbow drop and both men kip up to their feet! The fans cheer the opening exchange. It then looks as though the two will tie up but PAC takes the opportunity to hit repeated quick kicks to Riddle’s leg before hitting him with a few forearms to the face. Riddle staggers and PAC gains the early advantage in the match, connecting with a nice armdrag take over into an abdominal stretch on the mat. PAC elbows Riddle while he is locked in, showing the aggressive side to him. Riddle gets to his feet and reverses it into a hip toss, PAC lands on his feet but Riddle hits him with a falling clothesline taking PAC to the mat! Quick cover but only a two. Riddle then kicks PAC repeatedly and hits a nice senton splash but after a cover, again only a two count. Riddle tries to take control and whips PAC off the ropes, Riddle leapfrogs him, PAC then catches Riddle from a second leapfrog attempt and hits him with a sit out powerbomb! The cover, 1...2....only a two count! PAC takes control again, driving his knee into Riddle’s rib area before locking him in a crossface!! Riddle is in pain however after a few moments, Riddle begins to get to his feet while still locked in the cross face! Great strength from Riddle and he moves PAC onto his shoulders and drops him with a death valley driver! Riddle covers but again only a two! Riddle goes to the top rope and connects with his corkscrew dive! Instead of covering, Riddle hypes the crowd before charging at PAC with a shining wizard but PAC ducks and Riddle’s momentum sends him flying into the turnbuckle with a nasty landing! PAC senses an opportunity and locks Riddle in a tree of woe position. PAC then connects with a dropkick to the face of Riddle! Riddle still in position, PAC lifts him so Riddle is in a seated position on the top turnbuckle. PAC runs behind Riddle and lands a beautifully executed top rope release german suplex!! Riddle landing hard on his front! PAC covers again, 1..........2...........,NO!! Riddle kicks out! The fans can’t believe it! PAC drags Riddle by his hair and delivers a few kicks viciously to the side of the head. He then picks Riddle up by his hair and talks trash to him but Riddle manages to catch PAC in a clinch followed by knees to the face, followed by a belly to back suplex! Riddle covers but again only a two count! Riddle picks PAC off from the mat, in a clinch and slams him back down to the mat with a huge powerbomb! Riddle doesn’t waste any time and picks PAC up for the Bro-Hammer, Riddle hoists him up but PAC counters, jumps behind Riddle and hits a standing enziguiri to the back of Riddle’s head which sends him to the outside! PAC gets to his feet and measures up Riddle on the outside before coming off the ropes with a twisting moonsault plancha!! PAC hits Riddle perfectly! PAC gets back in to the ring and talks trash as Riddle struggles to make it in before the 10 count. Pac then kicks Riddle numerous times before hitting him with a standing shooting star press!! PAC goes to the top rope, signalling for the Red Arrow! PAC jumps but Riddle moves out the way! Riddle quickly nips to his feet and puts PAC in position for the Bro Derek!! Riddle hits it and hooks the leg, 1....2.....3!!! Matt Riddle picks up a huge win at Revolution!!

“What a match to kick off Revolution!! A huge victory for Matt Riddle!” exclaims Ranallo on commentary. The ‘Bro’ chants break out throughout the arena as Riddle looks jubilant making his way up the ramp in victory!!

We go backstage to Kayla, who is standing by with the Young Bucks shortly before their Tag Team Turmoil match for the PWU Tag Team Championship. Kayla asks the Bucks if their injuries sustained at the hands of Scherr and Kross on Warfare a few nights ago will have any impact on their ability to win the PWU Tag Team Titles? The Bucks state that they are all business and the attack they sustained on Thursday is nothing compared to the mark they are gonna make on the tag team division and PWU as a whole tonight. The Bucks state that they have had to overcome the odds time and time again and tonight will be no different. “We’re fed up of being seen as the whipping boys in PWU so far...we are the greatest tag team in the world today and tonight we prove it” The Young Bucks leave the area and we are ready to crown our first PWU Tag Team Champions!

Six Team Tag Team Turmoil Match (PWU Tag Team Championship)

The match starts off with the teams of Daniels and Kazarian and Santana and Ortiz. The first match starts off with Santana and Ortiz using their size and strength to their advantage using numerous quick tags to maintain it. Ortiz goes for a sitout powerbomb but Daniels counters into a nice hurricarana! Daniels then hits a few clotheslines followed by a picture perfect drop kick which sends Ortiz to the outside. Daniels then connects with a springboard splash on to Ortiz on the outside! Daniels picks Ortiz up and rams his head off the ring apron before rolling him into the ring. Daniels tags Kazarian, who continues from where Daniels left off. Kazarian hits a very nice slingshot leg drop, followed by a northern lights suplex pinning combo which only gets a two count! Ortiz eventually regains the advantage when he catches a superkick attempt and delivers one of his own. Ortiz tags Santana who puts the boots to Kazarian, picks him up then hits a nice flapjack landing Kazarian face first onto the mat. Cover but only a two! This continues to go back and forth until the closing moments when Daniels goes for the Angel Wings, but Santana counters into a vertebreaker!! 1....2.....3! It’s enough to put Daniels away, and his team is eliminated.

The next team in the match is FTR! AEW have loaned them to PWU for this match as part of their working agreement. This one starts out as a brawl with both teams throwing hands at each other in the ring. FTR do well to isolate Santana, frequent tags between them particularly working on the legs on Santana with numerous leg submissions and driving the knees. FTR hit a very nice Mindbreaker but Ortiz breaks up the pin fall! This brings in Dax Harwood who was on the outside, and Dax clotheslines Ortiz to the outside. FTR wait for Santana to get to his feet, then we see the Goodnight Express! Cash Wheeler covers, 1......2......3!! FTR make semi easy work of Santana and Ortiz!

Up next, we see Adam Scherr and Killer Kross make their way to the ring! FTR discuss tactics in the ring as these two monsters make their way into the ring. Both men step over the rope and are met by Harwood and Wheeler straight away hitting them with rights and lefts! Dax tries to take out the leg of Scherr while Cash crossbodys Kross out of the ring taking himself out of the equation as well! Dax continues to try and ground Scherr but with little effect and Scherr’s headbutt floors Dax Harwood. Scherr picks Harwood up and delivers a choke bomb sending him crashing to the mat! Scherr picks up Harwood and puts him over his shoulders before delivering a huge powerslam!! Scherr then signals for Kross to bring Wheeler into the ring which he does. Killer Kross then hits 3 consecutive release belly to back suplexes on Wheeler. Scherr and Kross continue the assault despite the referee warning one of them to get out of the ring! Scherr pushes the referee and the ref calls a DQ!! Kross and Scherr do not care and continue to beat FTR, leaving their bodies scattered in the ring.

Suddenly, here come The Young Bucks!!! The Bucks have steel chairs in their hands, and run to the aid of FTR, smashing chair shots into the legs and ribs of Kross and Scherr! In the melee, eventually Kross and Scherr walk away from the ring pleased with the damage they’ve caused. The bell sounds and FTR are down hurt but that doesn’t stop the Bucks! Matt Jackson goes to the top rope and connects with a 450 splash on to Dax Harwood!! The cover 1.......2.......no!!! Harwood kicks out!!! Matt looks shocked and goes for another cover but another kick out! Wheeler starts to stir on the other side of the ring and makes it to his corner somehow. The match continues, Matt whips Dax into the corner, looking for a corner drop kick but Dax moves out of the way leaving Matt in a heap and tags in Cash!! Cash kicks away at Matt Jackson in the corner and somehow FTR are able to continue this match! Cash drives his shoulders into Matt’s mid section and sets him on the top rope. Cash goes for a top rope suplex which is blocked, right hand by Matt sending Cash staggering and Matt hits a top rope cross body which is rolled through by Cash and then he hits a back breaker!! Cover 1......2.....kick out!! Matt Jackson kicks out but incredible resilience shown by FTR to even still be in this match! Cash works over Matt then tags in Dax, FTR look for an assisted bulldog from the top rope but Matt rolls through causing Dax to crash and burn and a pinning combo on Cash but as Cash is not legal the ref doesn’t count. Matt does make the tag to Nick Jackson and Nick comes in like a house on fire, drop kick to Dax, drop kick to Cash sending him to the outside, now The Bucks are in control!! Nick tags Matt back in and they hit a double flapjack to Dax on to the ropes, they then set up for the Meltzer Driver!! Nick gets Dax into the tombstone position, and Matt hits the flip to land the Meltzer Driver!! Nick covers, 1...........2............3!! The Young Bucks are in the final two teams!!

Up next it’s time for the mystery team and after a few moments we see.........DIY!!!! Thommaso Whitney and Johnny Gargano!! ‘Holy S**t’ chants echo throughout the arena. Ranallo is going crazy on commentary “We knew they were signed to us but we didn’t expect them as a tag team!!! These two teams are possibly the two best tag teams in wrestling today!! Whitney and Gargano reunited in PWU!!!”

The Young Bucks look shocked as Whitney and Gargano step in to the ring. The final match starts with Gargano and Matt Jackson. Matt offers a handshake but Gargano boots him in the mid section and hammers away on Matt!! Gargano hits numerous forearms to Matt’s face before hitting him with a beautiful hurricarana followed up by a jumping crescent kick knocking Matt down, quick cover 1....2...but Matt kicks out. Gargano tags in Whitney and Whitney straight away with numerous kicks to the gut followed by a snap suplex. Whitney then locks in a headscissors to Matt, Matt reverses out of it putting his weight onto Whitney’s body, it transitions into a bridge, backslide attempt by Whitney, Matt lands on his feet and lands a hurricarana sending Whitney to the outside! Matt then springs to the top rope, followed by a moonsault on to Whitney on the outside!! Gargano then gets involved but Nick Jackson hits a springboard sommersault plancha onto everybody below! ‘This is awesome’ chants break out into the arena as Whitney and Matt Jackson try to make their way back into the ring. Matt tags in Nick and Nick prevents Whitney making the tag to Gargano with a leg drop. Nick Jackson picks Whitney up and delivers a scoop slam. Nick goes to the top rope and attempts a corkscrew leg drop which misses and allows DIY back into the match.

Gargano and Whitney take a corner each, then as Nick sits up they sandwich his head between a superkick and a knee knocking him out cold! Gargano covers, 1......2.......3!!!! DIY have won the Tag Team Championship!!

The Tag Team title belts are presented to DIY and both Johnny Gargano and Thommaso Whitney take a corner and lift the titles above their heads to huge cheers. Nick Jackson starts to stir and Matt Jackson comes in to check on his fallen partner as DIY hold the titles above their head on the way back to the locker room.

McGuinness on commentary states “A good effort by The Young Bucks but what a debut for DIY tonight!! Johnny Gargano and Thommaso Whitney have made their claim as the best tag team in the world!”

Up next we see a promo for Warfare next Thursday hyping up the first two matches in the four man tournament for the PWU International Heavyweight Championship with Adam Cole facing Prince Devitt and AJ Styles facing Claudio Castagnoli.

We go back to commentary, “What a night Warfare is going to be this coming week, the start of the PWU International Championship tournament but here tonight, we’ve just crowned our first ever Tag Team Champions in DIY........ but of course later tonight, we crown our first World Heavyweight Champion in our main event with Drew Galloway and Bobby Lashley.” We then see a poll in which PWU fans have voted who they think the winner of the match will be. Currently the poll stands at 55% Drew Galloway, 45% Bobby Lashley. “Interesting results there, not too much between Galloway and Lashley, which of these titans will secure the PWU World Championship tonight? Well......Revolution rolls on however, we have Kevin Steen going one on one with Stu Bennett’s enforcer, Sha Samuels!”

A video package airs showing the events leading up to this match including Steen’s loss in the World Championship tournament and the aftermath back and forth between himself and the GM Stu Bennett.

Kevin Steen vs. Sha Samuels w/Stu Bennett

This one starts straight away with Steen and Samuels exchanging quick punches, Steen wasting no time here! Samuels whips Steen off the ropes, lowers his head and Steen catches him with a high knee followed by a swinging neckbreaker! Steen then mounts Samuels and hammers away with right hands before hyping up the crowd. ‘Kill Steen Kill’ chants echo throughout the arena as Bennett tries to quiten the crowd. Steen then hits Samuels with a senton splash, covers but only gets a two count. Steen picks Samuels up and whips him into the corner before charging at him looking for a clothesline but Samuels gets his boot up right into Steen’s face! Steen staggers and Samuels charges at him with a clothesline of his own, changing the tide of the match. Samuels then connects with a big leg drop much to the delight of Stu Bennett who is on the outside. Samuels takes control of the match showing his power after he picks Kevin up and drills him with a standing spinebuster! Samuels covers but only a two count. Samuels then locks Steen in a chin lock and the fans try to rally for Steen. Steen uses the energy from the fans and eventually counters into a side suplex taking the big man down! Steen goes for the cover but again only a two count! Steen throws Samuels to the outside through the middle rope, and Bennett immediately makes his way to check on his enforcer. Steen teases a plancha on to both men but Bennett warns Steen not to do it. The crowd boo as Steen looks as though he agrees but then Steen instead climbs to the ring apron and hits a cannon ball taking down both Samuels and Bennett at the same time!! Steen picks Samuels up and goes to whip him into the steel stairs but Samuels reverses and it is Steen who goes shoulder first into the stairs, with impact! Samuels rolls back into the ring distracting the referee, allowing a now recovered Bennett to put the boots to Steen! Bennett gets some cheap shots in before rolling Steen back into the ring. Samuels picks Steen up and places him in position for a powerbomb. Samuels hoists Steen up and powerbombs him into the turnbuckle!! Steen is hurt as Samuels gloats to the crowd about what he just did. Samuels then pulls Steen out of the corner and heads to the top rope! What is this? Samuels attempts a moonsault but Steen moves out of the way, sending Samuels crashing hard to the mat!! Steen slowly makes it to his feet before positioning Samuels in a seated position in the corner. Steen follows up with a cannon ball!! Samuels is dazed in the corner and Steen follows up with another cannon ball! Samuels is moved into the centre of the ring and now Steen goes to the top rope! Steen jumps and executes a beautiful frog splash! The cover, 1........2.......no!! Samuels gets the shoulder up at the last moment. Steen takes a breather in the corner and waits for Samuels to get to his feet before hitting a huge superkick right to the jaw of Samuels sending him to the mat! Steen is fired up but Bennett appears on the ring apron! He seems like he is trying to reason with Steen, allowing Samuels time to recover. Samuels charges at Steen from behind but Steen turns at the last moment and moves sending Samuels crashing in to Bennett!! Bennett is sent flying off the apron, Samuels turns around and right into a Stunner!! Samuels doesn’t go down so Steen sets him up and hits a Pop Up Powerbomb!! Steen covers 1........2........3!!!

The crowd cheer as Kevin Steen has got one over his boss! Samuels rolls out of the ring and he and Bennett are left embarrassed as they make their way to the back!

McGuinness: ”What a victory for Kevin Steen!! That will feel good after all the crap Stu Bennett has put him through the last few weeks!” Ranallo responds “It’s a great win in a hard fought match but you can’t help but feel this one isn’t over just yet!”

We go backstage where Kayla is standing by with Sammy Guevara. Kayla asks whether Sammy is happy with the ladder match stipulation to the Xcite Championship match and will this be an advantage or disadvantage to him? Sammy responds “Don’t worry Kim, it’s all under control. It doesn’t matter to me whether or not I need to climb a ladder to retrieve the gold or whether I have to just pin his ass in the middle of the ring. The end of the day I am the Spanish God and tonight I will be crowned the first PWU Xcite Champion. Oh and errmm.....talking of excite....I’ll let you hook up with me after the show. We can celebrate my win together what do you say?” Kayla is taken aback by this but responds “First of all....my name is Kayla and secondly....I don’t believe you’re gonna beat Ricochet anyway! So.....goodbye Sammy” Kayla walks away from the interview, Sammy watches her walk off and says “Yeah.....she’s feelin’ me.”

Next, we see a promo for the next Pay-Per-View, Spring Sacrifice which will take place Sunday April 25th.

After the promo, it’s time for our next match, Keith Lee taking on Jake Hager.

’Limitless’ Keith Lee vs. Jake Hager

This one starts out like a typical hoss match both men locking up and each gaining a shove on the other. Hager charges at Lee but Lee moves sending Hager into the corner! Lee then jabs away at Hager in the corner with rights and lefts before hitting him with a corner splash followed by an overhead belly to belly suplex. Lee starts the match in control until he misses a slingshot elbow drop attempt in the corner where Hager gets his knees up. Hager then works on Lee methodically, particularly working on the legs including locking him in a leg scissors and driving his own knee into Lee’s leg numerous times. Hager shows his strength but somehow lifting Lee off the mat and hitting him with a dead lift gut wrench suplex. Hager covers but only gets a two count! Hager locks in a well executed figure four leg lock. The crowd get behind Lee and after a short period, Lee makes it to the ropes. Hager tries to lift Lee by the legs near the rope and then let him slam to the mat but Lee shows his agility and lands on his feet, following up with a big dropkick! Lee slightly favours the leg afterwards, then hits a huge lariat taking Hager down! Lee hits him with a running spear, covers 1......2.....no Hager kicks out!! Lee still favouring the leg, hobbles to the top rope where he goes for a moonsault but Hager moves at the last second and both men are down!! After a brief period, both men start to stir with Hager locking Lee in a reverse bear hug followed by a waist lock take down. Hager then locks in the Ankle Lock! Lee looks like he’s gonna tap out but Lee rolls through sending Hager into the ring post! Lee catches him coming back with a beautiful T Bone suplex. Lee then hits a standing splash which connects, 1.....2......no!! Hager kicks out again! Lee can’t believe it and thought he had the match won.

Lee then climbs to the second rope and brings Hager back in with a dead lift suplex from the ring apron, sending Hager crashing to the mat hard with big impact! Lee covers again, 1.....2.........kick out!! Lee doesn’t know what he has to do to win and waits for Hager to get to his feet.

Hager picks Lee up and hits him with a sit out powerbomb! Hager now in control goes for a slingshot body splash in the corner but this time Lee gets his knees up causing Hager to stagger around. Lee sets him up for the Supernova and hits it!! Lee covers, 1........2........3!!!

Keith Lee celebrates in the ring but not for long as Hager beats Lee down after the match and locks him in an Ankle Lock! Hager keeps him in it until officials pour out from the back and break the hold eventually. Lee is helped out of the ring by numerous officials after Hager is ordered to the back.

We then see a video package hyping up the PWU Women’s Championship fatal four way match. We see clips from a sit down interview conducted with each of them individually that were conducted with Mauro Ranallo on Friday (night after the previous Warfare). First we hear Mauro ask BB Crawford why she thinks she will be the first PWU Women’s Champion. BB replies “I have the strongest athletic background out of the other three challengers. You have all heard that I am the EST of any company I choose to work for. I am the quickest....the strongest.....the smartest just the all round best. I will prove that at Revolution....” We then cut to Mauro asking the same question to Lexi Kaufman “Well my resume speaks for itself.....I’ve won gold before in other promotions, unlike the others in this match I’ve been at the top of the mountain before and now it’s my time to show everybody in PWU that I deserve to be at the top of the mountain here as well.” We then hear the same question asked to Shotzi “All my life I wanted to be a professional wrestler. This match on Sunday is the biggest match of my career so far. I’ve thought about this opportunity my whole life and there is no way I’m letting this opportunity pass me. Be prepared for Shotzi....” Finally, we hear the same question asked to Rhea Ripley “I’ve held titles before but this is the biggest opportunity for me yet. Did you see what I did to those other bitches a few weeks ago? I left them laying. Rhea Ripley doesn’t just win a match, she dominates a match and leaves the opponents laying in a heap. These bitches need to watch out....I just can’t wait for Sunday...”

Shotzi vs. Lexi Kaufman vs. Rhea Ripley vs. BB Crawford - Fatal Four Way (PWU Women’s World Championship)

This one kicks off with the other three women going straight after Rhea Ripley, all of them throwing hands at her!

Rhea picks Shotzi up by the hair and swings her for a swinging face buster, Shotzi landing hard. BB then gets some punches in on Ripley, Ripley ducks a clothesline attempt and BB is caught with a hard boot to the face! Ripley goes for the cover but only a two. Ripley is in control but we see Lexi climbing to the top rope on the opposite side of the ring. Ripley turns around and receives a high cross body into a pin, 1.....2.....Rhea kicks out! All four women make it to their feet and they seem to battle in pairs with Ripley and Lexi continuing in one corner with Shotzi and BB fighting in the other. BB delivers stiff chops to Shotzi whilst Ripley chokes Lexi with her boot in the corner. BB sets Shotzi on the top turnbuckle and gives her a couple of forearms before putting her in a suplex position. Ripley sees this and intervenes, getting BB in a powerbomb position. Suddenly, Ripley hits her powerbomb also resulting in Shotzi being suplexed simultaneously by BB from the top rope!! Huge impact move taking out BB and Shotzi who both roll out of the ring! The fans cheer loudly for that move but Lexi moves in on Ripley with a nice clothesline which knocks her to the mat. Lexi then puts the boots to Ripley, trying to keep her grounded.

The crowd are on their feet applauding these ladies for a great match. BB is presented the title belt and she holds it close to her as she leaves the ring very emotional. BB holds the belt up as she makes her way to the back.

Mauro on commentary “What a match that was!! These ladies put on a great match and they deserve the ovation they are getting. Congratulations BB Crawford!” McGuinness responds “Unbelievable match Mauro, what a women’s division we have here in PWU, any of those ladies could have left here tonight with that title. What a match!!” Ranallo continues “Indeed Nigel but up next....well this could be a Match of The Year contender....it’s Kenny Omega taking on Aleister. Let’s take you to the events leading up to this match.”

We see a video package showing everything leading up of Aleister and Omega’s match including Aleister’s debut, the debut of Scherr/Kross and Omega’s retaliation last week. It also contains clips from an interview that was conducted with Kenny Omega on Friday. Omega states that “This match is a must win for me. So far my record here in PWU isn’t befitting someone of my ability. I’m not gonna let Aleister and those two oafs get into my head, I have to win....it’s as simple as that. I am the best wrestler in the world and at Revolution I’m gonna show why. Ya see Aleister has threatened me, said I use people to get to the top but he has no idea how strong my bond is with The Elite and the roads we’ve been down together. The Bucks are my brothers and watching them get destroyed by Aleister and his henchmen on Warfare lit a fire in me like I’ve never had before. Aleister, you’re gonna find out what happens when you mess with The Elite and in particular Kenny Omega. I’ll see you Sunday....”

Aleister enters the arena first. Aleister has an entrance with darkened arena lighting and smoke coming out of the entrance way. We then see Aleister appear from under the stage, raised up by a platform in a cross legged position before getting to his feet from the platform and walking down the ramp with purpose. Aleister receives a mixed reaction from the crowd. Next we see Kenny Omega, who is cheered by the crowd, ‘Kenny’ chants fill the arena.

Aleister vs. Kenny Omega

The bell sounds and Aleister sits in the corner cross legged shouting at Omega “Your time is up Kenny!! C’mon fight me!” Kenny doesn’t budge and just stares through Aleister. Aleister gets to his feet and gets in Kenny’s face, resulting in both men trading forearms to each others face to get this one under way! Kenny wins this battle, whips Aleister off the ropes and catches him with a nice dropkick sending Aleister down! Kenny wastes no time in putting the boots to Aleister and hits a nice knee drop, quick cover but only a two count. Omega sends Aleister into the turn buckle and chops him repeatedly. Kenny charges Aleister but Aleister gets his knees up into Kenny’s face knocking him backwards. Aleister then delivers quick kicks to Omega’s legs before hitting him with one powerful kick to Kenny’s chest which sends Omega to the mat. Aleister then runs off the ropes and connects with a grounded drop kick to Omega’s head. Aleister goes to the ring apron and executes a sling shot swanton dive on to Kenny. Aleister hooks the leg but only a two count. Aleister positions Omega on his knees before delivering hard kicks to Omega, Aleister goes for a kick to the head but Kenny ducks and chops the back of Aleister’s leg sending him to the mat, Omega climbs on Aleister and connects with numerous rights and lefts to Aleister’s face.

Omega climbs to the top rope, jumps and lands a bomb scare knee drop from the top rope! Omega covers again, 1.....2.....kick out! Aleister still in the match.

Omega runs off the ropes, jumps and connects with his patented swanton plancha to Aleister!! Both men are down for a brief period but it is Omega who stirs first, he then breaks the referee’s count rolling in and out of the ring. He lifts Aleister up and delivers a front suplex onto the steel guardrail! Aleister is stuck across the guardrail as Omega climbs the the ring apron before delivering a leg drop across the back of Aleister’s neck! ‘Kenny’ chants echo throughout the Sears Centre as Omega makes it back into the ring and he is all fired up!! Omega implores Aleister to get back into the ring and he just about makes it back in before the count. Kenny goes straight over to Aleister and puts the boots to him, not giving him any time to recover. Omega lifts Aleister to his feet and looks to put the match to bed with a One Winged Angel! Omega gets him in position but Aleister wrestles out of it and lands many quick strikes to Omega followed by a running knee attack! Aleister covers, 1..........2.........no!! Omega kicks out!

Aleister covers, 1...............2................3!!!! Aleister wins!!

The fans are stunned as Aleister gets to his feet victorious! Ranallo is shocked on commentary “I can’t believe he did it! Aleister has beaten Kenny Omega cleanly tonight at Revolution!!” Aleister hobbles up the ramp after a hard fought match leaving Omega despondent in the ring. The Young Bucks come out and console Omega. They look disappointed in the result but still sympathtic towards Omega. The fans chants for Kenny, as he gets up looking despondent but with anger in his eyes. McGuinness chimes in on commentary “What does this loss mean for Kenny Omega? Kenny gave it everything he had in there but it wasn’t enough! That one Midnight Mass was enough to put him away....what’s next for Kenny Omega and The Elite?”

Next we see Stu Bennett and Sha Samuels getting ready to leave the arena as Kayla catches up to them “Mr Bennett!! Excuse me, just wondered if I could get your thoughts on Kevin Steen’s victory earlier tonight?” Bennett looks at Kayla “Look, Sha was robbed earlier tonight, Steen bloody cheated to win that match! There will be repercussions for him tomorrow night....now if you would excuse us, we gotta get out of here”

“Why were they in such a rush? Our GM leaving our first PPV over half way through? Something seems off to me...” questions Mauro Ranallo on commentary. McGuinness responds “Probably just wants to get out here, most likely embarrassed by that loss earlier”

Ranallo continues, “Well in any event, GM or no GM, up next is the ladder match for the Xcite Championship!! I’ve been looking forward to this one since it was announced!” McGuinness responds, “This one should be fantastic, Sammy Guevara versus Ricochet!” We see a video package showing us the events leading up to this Xcite Championship Ladder Match.

Ricochet vs. Sammy Guevara - Ladder Match - (PWU Xcite Championship)

Ricochet wastes no time and hits Guevara with a front facing running dropkick to Guevara sending him crashing into the turnbuckle! Ricochet follows up with a hand spring kick to Guevara’s head knocking Guevara senseless! Ricochet sees an opportunity and goes to retrieve a ladder from outside the ring. Ricochet rolls the ladder into the ring but as he’s doing that, Guevara regains his senses and delivers a vicious baseball slide sending the ladder crashing into Ricochet! Ricochet is down hurt on the outside of the ring. Guevara waits for Ricochet to get to his feet before landing a very nice corkscrew plancha on to Ricochet on the outside!

Guevara starts to set the ladder up but Ricochet recovers and rolls into the ring, breaking up Sammy’s attempt at reaching for the title with a high kick to his back! Sammy remains on the ladder but Ricochet quickly runs up the other side of the ladder and delivers a sunset flip powerbomb from the ladder!! Both men down and the fans applaud. Ricochet gets to his feet first and attempts to climb the ladder, Ricochet gets half way up but Guevara holds on to Ricochet’s foot and drags him off the ladder before hitting him with a big lariat which flips Ricochet in the air! Guevara pulls the ladder closer to the title and starts to ascend the ladder again. Guevara gets close but Ricochet again breaks Sammy’s attempt by shaking the ladder resulting in Sammy being crotched on the top rope! Ricochet then pulls Guevara to the ring apron and sets Guevara in between his legs before hitting him with a destroyer on the ring apron!! The crowd cheer loudly at this move! Both men are down on the outside of the ring but yet again Ricochet stirs first and rolls into the ring before beginning his ascend up the ladder. Ricochet gets half way up the ladder but Guevara can be seen near the ropes. Guevara uses the top rope and delivers an incredible springboard cutter to Ricochet from near the top of the ladder! Incredible timing and ring awareness by Sammy Guevara! The crowd are on their feet again, applauding both men. Guevara rises to this feet first and instead of climbing the ladder, he folds the ladder and throws it down on top of Ricochet. Guevara then stomps twice onto the ladder on top of Ricochet before heading to the top rope. Guevara attempts a shooting star press but Ricochet slides out from beneath the ladder, resulting in Sammy landing hard on top of the ladder!! Huge impact there! Ricochet gets to his feet and heads to the outside. Ricochet drags another ladder into the ring from the outside and places Guevara on to the second ladder. Ricochet sets up and places the first ladder nearer Sammy and starts to climb the ladder! Ricochet gets to the top before jumping off with a 450 splash onto Sammy on top of the second ladder!!! ‘Holy S**t’ chants echo throughout the arena! Both men are down for a considerable time until they start to stir. Sammy and Ricochet make it to their feet at approximately the same time and they throw tired right hands at each other. Sammy ducks a punch attempt and then hits Ricochet with a standing enziguiri sending Ricochet in the corner. Guevara sets Ricochet to the top rope, followed by a hurricarana resulting in Ricochet landing back first onto the second ladder on the mat! Guevara now sees his opportunity and starts to climb the ladder that is upright in the ring. Ricochet desperately holds on to Guevara’s foot to stop him climbing further and pulls himself up to his feet but uses Sammy’s body to climb up the ladder! Ricochet now above Guevara, Guevara sets Ricochet on his shoulders for what looks like an electric chair drop but Ricochet counters it into a poisonrana from the middle of the ladder! Ricochet gets to his feet first again and slowly starts to climb the ladder, Ricochet is inches away from reaching the title but wait a minute, Jake Hager is making his way down to the ring!! The fans boo as Hager climbs into the ring and pushes the ladder with Ricochet on it, sending him crashing to the outside of the ring!!! Hager sets the ladder up again before helping Sammy to his feet. Hager gets Guevara on his shoulders and climbs the ladder!! Guevara reaches up and snatches the PWU Xcite Championship much to the crowds displeasure!

Hager and Guevara pose with the title on the ladder while Ranallo goes nuts on commentary “What a shame!! A great ladder match ending like this! Guevara and Hager should be ashamed of themselves!” McGuinness responds “Guevara needing the help of his Inner Circle buddy from AEW to gift him the PWU Xcite title!! An incredible match, spoilt by Jake Hager....”

We go backstage to where we see BB Crawford celebrating her victory in the locker room with various members of the roster male and female. “BB!” chants are heard while BB takes a drink from a bottle of champagne with the title draped over her shoulder. Suddenly the chants quiten down and we see DMD Britt Baker and Adam Cole walk into the shot. BB stops the celebrations and stares at Britt “What the hell are you doing here!?” Britt then responds “I just heard all this commotion coming from my locker room and I had to find out what was happening. Congratulations for winning the title....I’m not surprised however that you would be celebrating so wildly if you know what I mean.” BB gets right in the face of Britt Baker while Adam Cole steps closer. Britt continues “Once you’ve sobered up....I think we should see what kind of champion you are. So I’m challenging you to a Women’s Championship match on Warfare this week.” BB laughs “Girl......you aint in my league! You have already lost to me so what in your tiny mind makes you think I’m gonna give you a title match!? The other women I competed with tonight deserve a shot over you. So....just take a number and get the hell out my locker room..” Adam Cole smirks as Britt responds “Oh poor BB......you see there’s nothing you can do about it. I already went to Stu Bennett’s office before he left and he has granted me a title shot this week. So I guess I’ll see you at Warfare.......if you’re in a fit enough state...” Britt Baker smirks at BB as her and Adam Cole leave. BB looks pissed off as we go back to Mauro Ranallo on commentary.

“Britt Baker is facing BB Crawford this week for the Women’s Championship!? How is that fair to BB or any of the other female athletes that deserve a shot!” McGuinness responds “Well I admit that Britt Baker wouldn’t be my number one choice to get the title match first but I guess if you wanna be a fighting champion, you have to beat what’s in front of you!”

Ranallo continues on commentary, “Well either way up next.......this is gonna be a fight. I don’t expect anything fancy here....it’s the street fight! Jon Moxley facing CM Punk!!” We go to a video package showing all the events leading up to this match including Punk’s debut, Moxley confronting him, Punk attacking Moxley and Moxley’s retaliation this past week on Warfare. We then hear clips from the sit down interviews with these men which took place on Friday. First we hear from CM Punk “Moxley bought this on himself. He couldn’t face the fact that I’d be here challenging for the PWU World Championship and taking what he perceives to be his spotlight. His career has always been about him being in the background, in the other promotion it was about Roman, not him. Even when he was champion, nobody cared. He saw lightning striking twice when I arrived here in PWU, so he tried to take a shot at me. I soon taught him a lesson though and at Revolution I’m gonna teach him another one.” We then hear from Moxley “At Revolution this isn’t gonna be a mat classic....this will be a fight. Punk, you come in here after a failed career in a different sport and think you can take my spot? Where have I heard that before?.......now it’s Jon Moxley’s time and unfortunately for you, you are going to be my first victim. After Revolution, you’re never gonna wanna come back to PWU and then you can run along and maybe get involved in another sport you’ll be s***y at while by that time I’ll be at the top of the food chain in PWU....”

We go to Justin Roberts for the announcements, with Jon Moxley entering first. Moxley enters from the crowd with a mostly negative response being that we’re in Chicago. While Moxley is in the ring waiting we hear loud ‘CM Punk’ chants! Moxley doesn’t seem to be bothered however. Punk’s music hits and the arena becomes unglued! Huge ovation for CM Punk! Punk makes his way to the ring but half way down the ramp, Moxley rushes out the ring and meets him!

CM Punk vs. Jon Moxley (Street Fight)

Moxley charges at Punk on the ramp and the bell sounds!! Moxley hits Punk with a Lou Thesz press and delivers numerous right hands to the top of Punk’s head! Moxley picks Punk up and throws him into the steel barricade! Moxley drags Punk by the head up to the stage area and drops him with a clothesline, Punk landing hard on the steel! Moxley then takes Punk’s legs and catapults him into the stage set up, Punk’s head bouncing off a steel tower! Moxley goes over to an already bloodied CM Punk and tries to hit him with the Paradigm Shift on the stage but Punk counters and rams Moxley back first into the steel stage repeatedly. Punk then throws punches at Moxley’s head before clocking him with a nice roundhouse kick to the back of his head knocking him down. Punk tries to get some distance between himself and Moxley so he makes his way towards the ringside area. Moxley isn’t far behind and clobbers Punk from behind sending him crashing down on the ramp! Moxley brings Punk back ringside and attempts to ram his head into the ringpost but Punk reverses and Moxley ends up face first into the ringpost instead! Punk looks under the ring for a weapon and brings out a steel chair. Punk then picks Moxley up and whips him hard into the steel steps! He follows this up by placing the steel chair over Moxley’s face, positioning Moxley so he’s effectively holding the chair. Punk then charges and hits a diving dropkick sandwiching Moxley’s head between the stairs and the steel chair! Moxley is out of it momentarily so Punk goes for a cover on the outside, 1.....2....Moxley kicks out! Punk drags Moxley to the timekeeper’s table at ringside before nailing Moxley with the ring bell to the face! Moxley is now busted open and Punk places Moxley on to the timekeeper’s table. Punk rallys the crowd and huge CM Punk chants break out. Punk heads to the top rope before jumping and crashing down through Moxley through the table with an elbow drop!!! ‘Holy s**t!’ chants echo throughout the Sears Centre as both men lay in a heap amongst a pile of rubble from the table! After a few minutes, Punk drapes an arm over Moxley on the outside for the cover, 1.........2.........no!!! Moxley somehow gets the shoulder up!! Punk begins to stir and he lifts Moxley with him. Punk and Moxley land quick digs at each other while they walk together. Punk tries to pick Moxley up but Moxley blocks it and picks Punk up, crotching him across the barricade! Moxley then picks up a steel chair and charges at Punk with a clothesline, sending him into the front row! Moxley hops the barricade and these two start fighting in amongst the crowd! Both bloodied, they battle through the fans, up towards the concessions. We see Moxley try to throw Punk down the stairs but Punk reverses it into a back body drop on the concrete, sending Moxley tumbling back towards the ring down a flight of stairs! Punk sees Moxley at the bottom of the stairs and goes for an elbow drop! Security move fans away so they have space, Punk jumps but Moxley moves out the way resulting in Punk smacking the concrete floor in the stands! Moxley stirs and drags CM Punk back towards the ring. Moxley clotheslines Punk back over the barricade and towards the ring. Moxley hobbling, holding his back, looks under the ring and finds a barbed wire baseball bat. The crowd let out ‘ohhh’s and ahhh’s’ not knowing what to expect next. Moxley rolls a bloodied Punk into the ring for the first time in this match! Moxley puts the boots to Punk and climbs to the top rope with the barbed wire bat in his possession. Moxley places the bat under his arm and delivers a huge elbow drop from the top rope with the barbed wire bat right into Punk’s face!! Moxley covers, 1...........2...........no!! Punk kicks out! Moxley can’t believe it as he thought he had the match won! Moxley waits for Punk to get to his feet. Punk drags himself to his feet and Moxley comes off the ropes with his trademark lariat with the baseball bat under his arm but Punk ducks it, kick to the mid section causing Moxley to drop the bat and Punk hits the GTS!! The crowd go nuts as Punk covers, 1..............2..............kick out!!! Moxley kicks out!! Punk is in disbelief! Punk then goes to the outside and brings the steel chair into the ring. Punk walks over to a grounded Moxley before locking Moxley’s head/neck in the steel chair! Punk then lifts Moxley up and gets him on his shoulders, surely not!? Punk spins Moxley around and hits a hellacious GTS while Moxley’s head is trapped in the steel chair!! The crowd are stunned, they’ve never seen that before! Punk covers and hooks the leg, 1................2.............Moxley gets his other foot on the bottom rope! Punk can’t believe it!! Punk follows the ref around the ring demanding that it was a three count but the ref repeatedly tells him Moxley got his foot on the rope! During this, Moxley gets his head freed from the steel chair and starts to crawl behind CM Punk! Moxley hits a low blow which sends CM Punk to the mat!! Moxley uses this time to try and recover, blood dripping from his face. Moxley uses the ropes but makes it to his feet and this pro-Punk crowd even start to applaud. Moxley picks up the chair and swings wildly at Punk, smashing the chair over and over again to Punk’s back! Moxley covers, 1........2.......kick out!! Punk again kicks out. Moxley kicks Punk out of the ring to the outside and follows him out there. Moxley drags Punk by the head back up the ramp towards the stage ramming his head into the barricade a couple of times on the way. Moxley brings Punk all the way to the edge of the stage! The two start to trade punches close to the edge teasing one of them will fall off! Moxley hits Punk with yet another low blow before locking Punk in position for the Paradigm Shift! Moxley jumps with Punk and both men fly off the stage through the set up below, tables broken!! ‘Holy S**t!!’ chants break out yet again! Both Punk and Moxley are bloody and broken, laying in a heap yet again with bits of wood, water bottles, wires and anything else on top of them. After a few moments of them both laying still, Moxley puts an arm over Punk, 1.............2.............3!!!!! Finally this war is over!!

The fans are on their feet applauding the effort of both men. McGuinness speaks first on commentary “I’ve been in this business over 25 years and I’ve never seen anything like that!! That was incredible.” Ranallo responds “That was the most brutal match I’ve ever witnessed, well done to Jon Moxley but in all honesty I don’t think either of these men are winners tonight given the brutality they’ve both endured. Neither of these men will ever be the same again....” We see the medical team helping Moxley and CM Punk before we go to a promo.

We see another promo for Warfare this week, highlighting the PWU International Heavyweight Championship tournament with Adam Cole vs. Prince Devitt and AJ Styles vs. Claudio Castagnoli.

We go backstage, where we see Kenny Omega trying to leave the arena with The Young Bucks trying to stop him. “C’mon Kenny don’t you wanna stay for the main event?” Kayla appears (she’s always in the right place!) and asks Kenny Omega for his thoughts regarding his match earlier with Aleister. Kenny turns and looks at her “Aleister won tonight. I gave him everything and it wasn’t enough...” Omega walks off towards the car. Nick Jackson then interrupts “Don’t worry about Kenny....tonight was a blip for The Elite. These things happen..” Kayla asks Nick “What’s next for Kenny Omega?” Matt Jackson replies “Don’t worry, we know what’s next and trust me, we’ll be back stronger than ever!” The Bucks continue to try and talk Kenny into staying as we go back to our commentary team.

“I’ve never seen Kenny Omega take a loss so badly before. It’s almost as if all his confidence has gone after that loss earlier tonight...” McGuinness responds “Well Mauro these big matches on Pay Per View are seen around the world and Kenny Omega’s loss tonight will have a huge impact on him. He has the Bucks with him, I’m sure The Elite will be as strong as ever.”

Ranallo speaks, “Well folks we’ve finally arrived....it’s time to crown our first ever PWU World Heavyweight Champion. It’s our main event......Bobby Lashley taking on Drew Galloway!! Let’s have a look at the events leading up to this huge title clash.”

We see a video package documenting the PWU World Championship tournament results up to the semi finals. We then see the closing moments of Lashley/AJ and Galloway/Moxley leading to this final match. We see the contract signing where Lashley put Drew through a table, followed by the closing moments of the six man tag main event on Warfare this past week with Drew beating Lashley cleanly. We then see clips from the sit down interviews with both Lashley and Galloway that were conducted on Saturday. We hear Lashley first “In all the companies I’ve worked in, I’ve held the gold. I was a multi champion in TNA, I held titles in the WWE. I dominate the competition, that’s what I do! I’m a winner. Drew Galloway thinks that he has this match already won just because he pinned me last week on Warfare. Problem is he doesn’t realise that I’m a big match player. When I need to win......I do. I don’t care about a six man tag, that match aint paying me s**t. The match at Revolution is what it’s all about. Becoming World Champion is when the money rolls in and I will be the face of this company. There aint no stopping the inevitable Drew, just get used to the fact you’re gonna lose at Revolution and I will be the dominant force in PWU...” We hear from Drew Galloway “Bobby, ever since you put me through that table, I’ve been waiting for this day even more so. Not only do I get to beat you down again just like I did this past week on Warfare but I am going to be the PWU World Heavyweight Champion. You see Bobby, this means more to me than anything. This is a match that I cannot lose, I need to prove to myself that I was right to leave the WWE. I don’t need to remind you of my accomplishments, you already know. I left the WWE cos I had nothing to prove there anymore, here I have EVERYTHING to prove. I will do whatever it takes to leave with that championship. So get ready Bobby. The clocks ticking...”

We go to Justin Roberts for the announcements. Drew Galloway enters first to a good ovation from the Chicago crowd followed by Bobby Lashley who receives a reasonable reaction.

Bobby Lashley vs. Drew Galloway (PWU World Heavyweight Championship)

The match starts with both men face to face in the middle of the ring. As the bell sounds, both men trade punches in the middle of the ring, Lashley goes for a clothesline which Drew ducks followed by a dropkick to Lashley which sends him through the middle ropes to the outside! Lashley slams the steel stairs in frustration before getting back into the ring. The two lock up, and Lashley shoves Galloway down to the mat showing his strength. Galloway returns to his feet and the two tie up again, this time Galloway winning the test of strength shoving Lashley to the mat! Lashley gets to his feet and circles Galloway before offering a test of strength. Lashley locks hands with Drew, but Lashley kicks him in the gut repeatedly taking early control of the match. Lashley whips Galloway off the ropes and catches him coming back with a nice powerslam, quick cover by Lashley but only a two count. Lashley puts the boots to Galloway before dropping an elbow on him twice, another quick cover but only a two count. Lashley drags Galloway to his feet and whips him hard into the corner. Lashley charges at Drew but Drew moves out the way, sending Lashley hard sternum first into the turnbuckle! Galloway capitalises and hits Lashley with hard clubbing blows in the corner before delivering a huge hiptoss across the ring followed up by a back body drop to Lashley. Lashley comes back with a clothesline attempt, Galloway ducks and locks in a backslide pinning combo, 1.....2....no!! Both men then go down as they clothesline each other at the same time. Lashley gets to his feet first near the ropes, Drew charges at him for a clothesline but Lashley back body drops Drew to the outside over the top rope! Galloway landing hard on the outside. Lashley follows Galloway out there and picks him up, slamming his back into the ring post! Galloway shouts in agony. Lashley picks Galloway up again and this time drives his back into the edge of the ring apron! Lashley rolls Galloway into the ring, 1.....2...kick out! Not enough to put Galloway away yet. Lashley in control, uses the ropes as leverage before dropping his weight on the back of Galloway. Lashley drags Galloway to the middle of the ring and applies a camel clutch. The fans cheering for Galloway spurs Galloway on, and after a while Galloway manages to counter and get to his feet with Lashley on his shoulders! Galloway drops Lashley with an electric chair drop, Lashley landing hard!! Galloway takes the opportunity to get to his feet and catches Lashley charging at him with a big boot, sending Lashley reeling! Galloway goes behind Lashley and delivers a german suplex pinning combo, 1.........2......Lashley kicks out! Drew continues to go to work on Lashley putting the boots to him in the corner before charging at him with a big boot to the face while Lashley is seated in the corner! Galloway covers again, 1.......2......no!! Lashley kicks out again. Drew sets Lashley up on the top turnbuckle and attempts a top rope suplex which Lashley blocks. Galloway headbutts Lashley three times and then has Lashley in a fallaway slam position! Drew executes the fallaway slam from the top to Lashley, huge impact landing there! Drew covers, 1.......2......no! kick out by Lashley! Galloway senses the end is near and goes near the corner, setting Lashley up for the Claymore!! Lashley gets to his feet, Drew charges but Lashley moves to the side and catches Drew in a spinning side suplex instead!! Impressive reactions by Lashley! Lashley hooks the leg but only a two count! Lashley heads towards the opposite corner and waits for Galloway to get to his feet, Lashley connects with a spear!! Lashley covers again, 1..........2..........no!! Galloway rolls the shoulder up at the last second! Lashley looks pissed and sets Galloway up for another spear. Galloway gets to his feet again, Lashley charges but Galloway counters into a Futureshock DDT! What a counter! Galloway hooks the leg, 1........2........nooo!! Lashley kicks out this time! Galloway lifts Lashley from the mat and delivers a belly to back release suplex. Galloway does this a second time before going for a cover, 1......2......kick out! Lashley still kicks out! Galloway waits for Lashley to get to his feet which he does, charges for the Claymore but Lashley moves resulting in Drew becoming tied up in the turnbuckle in the opposite corner! Lashley now sees his opportunity and stomps away on Galloway while he is tied up before setting him on the top rope. Lashley climbs up behind Galloway and executes a beautiful side suplex from the top rope!!! Galloway lands hard and Lashley crawls over to cover, 1............2.............no!!! Galloway somehow gets the shoulder up! Lashley doesn’t know what he has to do to put Galloway away! Lashley picks Galloway up and locks him in a full nelson, swinging Galloway from side to side! It looks to be over but wait a minute, is that The Young Bucks coming to the ring!? We see Nick and Matt Jackson running to the ring, what is this about!? Lashley releases the full nelson and tries to swat away the Young Bucks who are climbing up on the ring apron, distracting Lashley! Galloway returns to his feet, Lashley turns around and boom!!! Claymore!!! Right to the jaw of Lashley!!! Galloway covers, 1....................2........................3!!!! We have our new World Champion!!!

The Young Bucks enter the ring and applaud Galloway as he receives the PWU World Championship title! We see Kenny Omega run down to the ring, and he seems to be asking The Young Bucks what is going on?

Ranallo on commentary is beside himself “What the hell was that!? Why are The Young Bucks helping Drew Galloway!?”

Omega looks confused, the Bucks look at each other then boom!! Double superkick to the jaw of Kenny Omega by The Young Bucks!! Drew laughs and tells The Young Bucks to lift Omega to his feet. Galloway runs and hits the Claymore on Kenny Omega!!! Lashley tries to intervene but he also receives another Claymore Kick knocking him to the outside!! The Bucks and Drew Galloway stand over an unconscious Kenny Omega. The Bucks pull out three ‘Bullet Club’ jerseys from their pockets!! The Bucks put theirs on before handing a jersey to Drew Galloway!!! Galloway puts his on and the three raise each other’s arms in the middle of the ring while fans throw their trash into the ring! The Bucks then lift Omega’s head and plant a kiss either side of his cheek before staging a mock execution of Kenny Omega!! Galloway raises the PWU World Championship title over his head with his foot on Omega’s back and The Bucks holding ‘trigger fingers’ to Omega’s head!

Ranallo signs out with “What the hell have we just witnessed!? The Bullet Club has arrived in PWU.....with a new World Champion at the helm! What does this mean for the rest of PWU!?” as Revolution fades to black!

The show starts with a video package of still images from the Revolution PPV, mainly covering match results. We then see video footage from the end of the World Championship match with Drew Galloway and Bobby Lashley and the aftermath with the re-emergence of The Bullet Club and The Young Bucks turning on Kenny Omega.

Once the video package ends we see the camera panning over a sold out crowd in the State Farm Centre in Champaign, Illinois! We go to Mauro Ranallo and Nigel McGuinness..

“Welcome to Warfare.....fall out from Revolution! Last Sunday, our new World Champion Drew Galloway shocked the world with the reformation of The Bullet Club along with The Young Bucks (Galloway’s music plays) and well.....it looks like we won’t need to wait for long to find out what’s going on cos here come The Bullet Club!!....”

Drew Galloway and The Young Bucks make their way down to ringside with a chorus of boos. Galloway takes the PWU World Championship and hoists it high in the air as The Bucks stand either side of him. Drew Galloway takes a mic. “Well well well.....hasn’t the landscape changed here. You see, ever since Revolution all I’ve heard is why? Why did you need The Young Bucks? Why The Bullet Club? Why now? Blah blah blah. The answer is actually pretty simple...this...” Drew raises his title belt in the air again. “You see, I had to do whatever it took to be the PWU World Champion and I noticed that factions were forming when I got here. Aleister has his henchmen, you have members of the Inner Circle from AEW popping up, Kenny Omega had The Elite...ha but not now right boys?”Drew looks at The Young Bucks and they all smirk. “I knew I needed more than just to be Drew Galloway to get to the top which is why I enlisted the help of the greatest tag team in professional wrestling today. Before you know it, we discussed this plan....what if....what if we could reform The Bullet Club in the United States!? Obviously there would be small hurdles to overcome, thank you Stu Bennett and NJPW for helping with that. Now we’re here though, we are the dominant force in PWU and the recruitment is not stopping with the three of us. We are here to takeover and there’s two things you can do about it.....nothing and like it!!”

The crowd boo as Drew Galloway passes the microphone to Matt Jackson. “That’s right Drew. We’ve also been asked why a lot since Revolution. Why would we turn on Kenny Omega and break up The Elite? Again it’s a simple answer. Since Kenny joined PWU, he’s not the same wrestler anymore. He’s lost that spark, that edge, that zip. Let me ask you all something, where was Kenny Omega when Adam Scherr and Killer Kross jumped us a few weeks back? NOWHERE.....until it was too late! So who turned on who? Kenny always played the hero, overshadowing us, treating us like we were inferior to him. He was gonna be the hero, beat Aleister and get his revenge for us but.......nope! That didn’t happen either. We’ve known for a while that Kenny Omega needed to be put down....like a dog that’s getting old and can barely walk. If we were to do this, we needed new blood, a new star, a strong leader. That man is now the PWU World Champion, Drew Galloway!! Kenny Omega is nothing but a bitch and last night we finally put him down. We are now the talk of professional wrestling, The Bucks and Drew Galloway! The Bullet Club is back and I just hope you’re ready.....” Matt Jackson throws the mic down as Drew and Nick Jackson applauds and the three of them leave the ring.

Ranallo: “The landscape really has just changed around here and The Bullet Club mean business!”

McGuinness: “They certainly made a statement last night and I don’t envy anybody in that locker room right now.”

Ranallo: “Well tonight is a huge episode of Warfare, the first round of the PWU International Heavyweight Championship kicks off with Adam Cole taking on Prince Devitt, plus Claudio Castagnoli squaring off against AJ Styles! We also have DMD Britt Baker challenging BB Crawford for the Women’s Championship in our main event tonight! We will also see Ricochet take on Jake Hager, we’re expecting to hear from Aleister as well.”

PAC vs. Cedric Alexander

This week’s action kicks off with PAC going up against Cedric Alexander. The bell sounds and PAC wastes no time, kicking away at Cedric. PAC clearly still pissed off that he lost at Revolution as he shows more aggression in his offense. PAC delivers two consecutive snap suplexes before going for the cover and getting a two count. PAC whips Cedric into the buckle and tries to catch him with a clothesline but Cedric gets the feet up in PAC’s face! Cedric runs behind PAC and delivers a nice roll forward hurricarana taking PAC down. He then catches PAC with a few dropkicks. PAC is sent to the outside, Cedric goes for a sommersault plancha but PAC catches Cedric in mid air in a powerbomb position and throws him into the ring apron! PAC rolls Cedric in the ring and delivers and nice slingshot leg drop from the apron. PAC lifts Cedric’s head and delivers quick kicks to the face. PAC lifts Cedric from the mat and delivers a deadlift german suplex! PAC chooses not to pin and instead rolls backwards onto Cedric and locks in the Brutaliser!! Cedric has no choice but to tap out, PAC gets his first win in PWU.

We go backstage where we see Stu Bennett seated in his office with Sha Samuels. Samuels is drinking a can of beer. “Y’know Sha if you slowed down drinking, you may have actually got the job done at Revolution?” Sha responds “C’mon boss, you know that beer makes me more aggressive...if anything I should of drunk more before my match with Steen!” Bennett shakes his head “We need more than that to get Steen back for what happened Sunday. How about next week, it’ll be you versus Steen again, this time in a no DQ match!....” Suddenly we hear the office door squeak open and we see Bennett and Samuels look slightly nervous. We then see that Aleister has walked in with Adam Scherr and Killer Kross! Bennett looks at Aleister and asks “Have you ever heard of knocking?” Aleister smirks and responds “The only thing I knock....is people’s teeth down their throat.” Bennett nervously laughs “Okay nevermind.....umm....how can I help you gentlemen?” Aleister stares Bennett in the eyes “I think you know why we are here. As I defeated Kenny Omega at Revolution, I believe that makes me the number one contender to the PWU World Championship? What do you think?...” Bennett looks nervous “Well......I think you’re in contention but I’ve also got to consider Jon Moxley who beat CM Punk the other night...don’t forget Bobby....” Aleister interrupts “Shh.....Stu.....it’s okay. I could take care of all that for you. Jon Moxley isn’t even here tonight but myself and my henchmen could just go around and injure every single one of your roster until you have nobody left meaning I’d be number one contender by default....now you wouldn’t want that would you?” Bennett thinks about this and his eyes widen “Well...I guess not. Besides you did beat Kenny Omega and as you said Moxley and Punk aren’t here due to their injuries sustained at Revolution so yes! You’re on. At Spring Sacrifice it’ll be Aleister challenging Drew Galloway for the PWU World Championship.” Aleister smirks “I thought you may see things my way....pleasure negotiating with you..” Aleister and his henchmen leave. Sha Samuels cracks open another beer as Stu Bennett looks a bit shaken up.

Ranallo: “Well what about that!! Aleister will be facing Drew Galloway at Spring Sacrifice for the title!”

McGuinness responds “Yeah.....I think Aleister’s henchmen may of influenced that decision from our GM Stu Bennett.”

Claudio Castagnoli vs. AJ Styles

Here we go, the first match in the PWU International Heavyweight Championship chase! The two men lock up, Claudio goes behind and delivers a waist lock take down into a headlock. Styles manages to get to his feet still in the headlock, he sends Castagnoli off the ropes, ducks a clothesline and hits a pele kick early on sending Castagnoli staggering into the ropes. Styles then continues his attack with hard kicks to the legs followed by forearms to the face. Styles goes for the 10 punch combo on the middle rope but Castagnoli counters and hits Styles with an atomic drop! Claudio goes for a sharpshooter attempt but Styles wriggles himself out if it and rolls to the outside. Styles taunts some of the fans at ringside but here comes Castagnoli with a plancha through the middle ropes landing on to Styles pushing him back first into the barricade! Castagnoli throws AJ back in to the ring and goes for a cover but only a two count. Claudio continues his offense working on the arm of AJ Styles with a reverse wrist lock. Styles does a sommersault on the mat to reverse it before connecting with a well executed springboard corkscrew armdrag from the top rope this time sending Castagnoli crashing to the mat. Styles follows up with a flying forearm and then a quick strike combo resulting in Castagnoli swept from his feet. Styles covers but Castagnoli bridges out of the pin and nails Styles with a drop kick to the face! This one continues to be back and forth, both men with a flurry of offense. Styles hots another pele kick knocking Castagnoli down and Styles heads to the apron for the phenomenal forearm! Styles springs off the rope but Castagnoli counters with a european uppercut in mid air! He covers Styles, 1.....2......no!! Styles gets the shoulder up! Castagnoli approaches AJ’s legs and starts the big swing! Claudio swings AJ by the legs around 10 times before dropping him to the mat and going for the cover, 1........2.........no!! AJ Styles kicks out! Castagnoli goes for the sharpshooter but Styles kicks Castagnoli away sending him to the mat and follows up with a slingblade. Styles heads to the top rope and hits a very impressive 450 splash!! Styles covers, 1........2........no!! Kick out again! Styles calls for the Styles Clash, sets Claudio up but Claudio reverses it into a huge back body drop! Castagnoli catches AJ coming at him with a pop up european uppercut followed by a sharpshooter!! Styles holds on for a long time but Castagnoli has too much strength and drags AJ back into the centre of the ring as he gets closer to the ropes. Styles can’t hold on anymore and taps to the sharpshooter!! Claudio Castagnoli has a shot at the PWU International Championship next week!

Mauro Ranallo: “What a match that was! Castagnoli will be heading to Warfare next week knowing that he has a shot at the PWU International Championship!”

McGuinness: “Yeah a great win for Castagnoli and like I said a few weeks back, I believe he is seriously the real deal and has a bright future in PWU!”

We go backstage where Britt Baker and Adam Cole are both warming up for their respective matches tonight. Kayla walks up to them “Excuse me guys just wondered if I could have a few moments of your time and ask you your thoughts on your matches tonight?” Baker looks at Cole before responding to Kayla “Can’t you see we are extremely busy Kayla? I’m main eventing the damn show in case you haven’t realised and tonight I become the PWU Women’s Champion!” Baker tuts as Adam Cole interjects. “You know what Kayla, you have some nerve approaching us while we are preparing for our matches tonight. It’s okay though because I’m going to answer your lame questions. Do I think I can win?.......yes.........Am I worried about facing Devitt?........No.........What are my chances of becoming PWU International Champion?..........Very high. Now if you’ll excuse us......” Adam Cole shoes Kayla away as Kayla gives them a dirty look, shakes her head and walks off.”

Ranallo: ”Well, Adam Cole and Britt Baker extremely confident heading into their respective matches tonight. I think BB Crawford and Prince Devitt may have something to say about that however....I can’t wait for those matches later tonight!”

Ranallo is interrupted as Bobby Lashley’s music hits!!

Nigel McGuinness: Wait a minute! We wasn’t expecting Bobby Lashley out here! This will be interesting!”

Ranallo: You can bet he is not going to happy after the events that took place on Sunday!!

Lashley makes his way down to the ring, looking like he means business, clad in a khaki coloured suit. He demands a microphone. “Okay, I’m gonna get straight down to business. I want Stu Bennett to come out here right now!!” The fans cheer as Lashley waits for Stu Bennett. Bennett does arrive with Sha Samuels with him. Bennett has a mic in his hand as he steps into the ring. “Is there a problem Bobby?” Lashley responds “I think you know damn well what the problem is. So not only am I screwed out the match on Sunday by The Young Bucks which by the way you had a hand in! You’re now also giving away my title rematch to Aleister!! I want my rematch...” Stu Bennett thinks about this and responds “Bobby I understand, I really do. However you seem to be confused....you’re not owed a rematch. You lost in a tournament final, that doesn’t mean you just get a rematch. Aleister had beat one of the best wrestler’s in the world on Sunday, hence why he was given the title match at Spring Sacrifice.” Bobby looks more and more irate and steps nearer to Bennett “Whoa hold on Bobby.....before you do something really stupid. I like to think of myself as a fair man so I am going to be give you an opportunity to be added to that title match at Spring Sacrifice. You’re going up against ‘The Monster’ Adam Scherr. If you win, you will be part of a triple threat match for the PWU World Championship at Spring Sacrifice. That match is going to take place.....well right now!!” Lashley looks pissed at this decision before running and spearing Sha Samuels!!! Lashley then takes off the top half of his suit just leaving his suit pants and shoes on. Samuels is helped out of the ring by Bennett while Adam Scherr makes his way down to the ring....

Ranallo: ”Looks like we have ourselves an impromptu number one contenders match for Lashley!!”

McGuinness: ”I don’t like Lashley’s chances here, it’s bad enough facing Adam Scherr with preparation but to face him completely unprepared with this much at stake!?....”

Bobby Lashley vs. ‘The Monster’ Adam Scherr

Lashley wastes no time in hammering away on Scherr as he climbs over the top rope. Lashley hits several clubbing blows to the head as the bell sounds but Scherr headbutts Lashley which sends him reeling, then follows up with a clothesline knocking Lashley down.

Lashley covers, 1.......2.......3!!! Lashley is going to Spring Sacrifice!

Ranallo: ”What a victory for Bobby Lashley!! Suit pants and all, Lashley is gonna get his shot at redemption at Spring Sacrifice in a triple threat match!”

McGuinness: ”A super-human display of strength and resilience by Bobby Lashley to get the big man up and deliver that powerbomb!”

We go to the locker room where The Bullet Club have just finished watching the Bobby Lashley match on a monitor. Galloway can be seen stressed out “Ahh bulls**t!! How can Bennett do that to me!? In my first defence, I am defending against both Aleister and Lashley!” The Young Bucks try to calm him down. Nick Jackson speaks “Look Drew, we are The Bullet Club! You don’t need to worry about Lashley or Aleister. We are the most dominant force in pro wrestling today. You know what happens when we are angry? We execute.....” Galloway looks at The Young Bucks “You’re right.....let’s do this...”The Bullet Club storm out the locker room before we go back to the commentary team.

Ranallo: “What did they mean by that!?
McGuinness: ”I’m not sure Mauro but that really doesn’t sound good for the rest of the PWU roster....

This continues until we see Keith Lee running to the ring!! Keith Lee sends Hager and Guevara scampering out of the ring and to the back!

Ranallo: ”Thank God for Keith Lee!! Those damn cowards were gonna injure Ricochet there!

McGuinness: ”Yeah, hopefully Ricochet isn’t too badly hurt from that assault.”

Ranallo: ”Wait a minute Nigel, I’ve just been informed that there is some sort of commotion backstage, let’s get a camera back there and see what’s happening!”

We go backstage and we see The Bullet Club beating the hell out of Bobby Lashley in the locker room!

Ranallo: ”The Bullet Club running riot here tonight! Bobby Lashley just attacked backstage and DIY taken out as well!? Someone needs to put a stop to this!”

McGuinness: ”You may not like it Mauro but it’s definitely effective! The Bullet Club have just made an example of their biggest threats!”

After this, we hear Adam Cole’s music hit and it’s time for the second PWU International Championship tournament match!

The match starts off fast with Cole going for a superkick at the bell but Devitt ducks it and sweeps Cole’s leg out! Devitt then connects with a series of drop kicks followed by a slingblade.

So is Adam Cole, Devitt goes to the top rope and finally hits the Coup De Grace but no referee to count the pin!

Suddenly, we see The Bullet Club on their way down to the ring! Devitt sees this and gets to his feet. Galloway steps into the ring and extends the ‘too sweet’ gesture to Devitt!! Devitt grins and accepts the gesture! Galloway then makes a gun finger motion but points it straight at Devitt before levelling him with the future shock DDT!!! Galloway drags Adam Cole over Devitt before waking the ref up! 1..............2..............3!!!! Adam Cole advances!

Ranallo: ”You gotta be kidding me!! Drew Galloway has just screwed Prince Devitt here! Devitt thought he was joining The Bullet Club but the Club had other ideas!”

The Young Bucks get into the ring and put the boots to Devitt, while Galloway motions for ‘too sweet’ to Adam Cole! Cole accepts and the Bullet Club hug in the middle of the ring! Cole has joined The Bullet Club!

McGuinness: ”The Bullet Club have just become even stronger!! Adam Cole has rejoined the Bullet Club!! Let’s not forget, it was Prince Devitt who founded the Bullet Club in Japan and he’s just been rejected by this new incarnation!

Ranallo: ”Also, let’s not forget what was at stake there, Adam Cole advances into the final match meaning next week, Claudio Castagnoli will battle against Adam Cole for the PWU International Championship! With Bullet Club now by his side, who can bet against Adam Cole winning the damn thing!?”

We go backstage where Kayla is standing by with BB Crawford. “BB tonight you defend your Women’s Championship for the first time against DMD Britt Baker. As you just saw, her boyfriend Adam Cole has joined The Bullet Club, with that in mind given his relationship with Britt, are you worried about The Bullet Club being an influence in your match as well?” BB responds “Whether Britt is in The Bullet Club or not, it doesn’t bother me. I know, that I am the EST of this company meaning I am also the baddest bitch here. Britt, at Revolution, I defeated three other superstars. Tonight, I just have to beat you and oh yeah, I already did that a few weeks ago! They say lightning doesn’t strike twice?.....we’ll see.....”

We then see Aleister in a darkened area of the arena talking to Adam Scherr. “Adam.....you have disappointed me. What were you thinking going for a move off the ropes!? You just helped add another obstacle to my path to the championship! You will never do that again while you’re under my leadership, do you understand?” Adam Scherr nods his head in agreement. Aleister continues “I forgive you this time.....now let’s focus on the task at hand...”

It’s time for the main event as we see Britt Baker enter first with Adam Cole by her side, both wearing Bullet Club jerseys!!

Ranallo: ”Well they say a picture is worth a thousand words, there it is!! Obviously Britt Baker is part of the Adam Cole deal! Britt Baker is the first female to be a part of The Bullet Club!

Carnage all around the ringside area as BB hooks Baker in position for the KOD and hits it!! BB covers, 1..............2.............3!!! BB Crawford retains!

Warfare fades to black as the fighting continues outside the ring!
